    IRRIGATION SYSTEM

    Subsurface Drip Irrigation

    Advantages of Drip Irrigation:

    1. Maximum use of available water.


    2. No water being available to weeds.
    3. Maximum crop yield.
    4. High efficiency in the use of fertilizers.
    5. Less weed growth and restricts population of potential hosts.
    6. Low labour and relatively low operation cost.
    7. No soil erosion.
    8. Improved infiltration in soil of low intake.
    9. Ready adjustment to sophisticated automatic control.
    10. No runoff of fertilizers into ground water.
    11. Less evaporation losses of water as compared to surface
    irrigation.
    12. Improves seed germination.
    13. Decreased to tillage operations.
    Sustainable Water Savings. Applies water directly to the roots to avoid
    high evaporation loss.

    Reclaimed water used. The potential risk of disease caused by bacteria


    and viruses is minimized

    Energy Saving. Low-pressure system requires less energy

    Healthier and Better quality turf , reduce weed problems. Airborne


    weed seed germination is greatly reduced without moisture to initiate
    germination

    Safe and efficient Fertilizing. Added in a single inlet , fertilizer flow


    directly to the roots.

    Reduced damage and vandalism. Underground system is not exposed


    to accident damage due to human traffics.

    Irrigation schedule is not restricted by mowing or usage. Turf can be


    irrigated any time of the day.

    In spite of the fact that drip irrigation has so many potential benefits , they’re a
    certain limitation also, there are as follow:

    1. Sensitivity to clogging
    2. Moisture distribution problem
    3. Salinity hazards
    4. High cost compared to furrow.
    5. High skill is required for design, install and operation.
