Irrigation systems and Installation

Irrigation is an important way of supplying water to plants and livestock. As a small-scale farmer, you are looking for irrigation options that are cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

With a wide range of irrigation options available, sometimes it can be pretty challenging to choose an ideal method for your farm.

Drip irrigation is an efficient water and nutrient delivery system that can water a wide range of crops. It delivers water and nutrients directly into the root zone of different plants in the right amounts. Since it uses less water, drip irrigation can be the best option for small-scale farmers, especially in areas where water is scarce. It also works perfectly in large fields that require sophisticated irrigation systems.

SPRINKLER IRRIGATION

Sprinkler irrigation is a common and affordable type of irrigation that uses water sprinklers to water crops uniformly. This system is versatile and can be used for ornamental plants and vegetables.

It consists of a system of pipes with sprinklers on the ends that release water onto the ground.

The sprinklers are broken into zones across the property, and each zone has its independent timer. The pipes are connected to an underground or above-ground cistern (reservoir) or pond.
