Irrigation watering systems
Irrigation systems are specialized equipment that is designed for additional irrigation of land in places where natural precipitation is insufficient, or in situations where plants need more liquid or nutrient solutions. Almost all agriculture uses additional water, which is supplied in automatic or manual mode. Drip irrigation is the best option for supplying liquid and will be effective even where the crop does not receive the desired water level at all.
Classification of irrigation systems
Depending on the type of irrigation, irrigation systems come in different types. In fact, there are four main types:
- Surface irrigation systems;
- Flood irrigation systems;
- Furrow flooding systems;
- Strip water supply systems.
In accordance with this, there are special equipment that allows you to perform and equip such systems: sprinklers, irrigation machines and motor pumps or specialized pumps. All these devices allow you to manually or automatically deliver water to the fields, evenly distribute it over the territory of the land and ensure the normal functioning of plants in the future.
