1. Water Supply
The water source can be:
2. Pump
The pump supplies energy to operate the system. When selecting a pump, consider:
A well-chosen pump ensures optimal efficiency and long-term performance.
3. Fertigation / Chemigation
4. Filtration
Filtration is essential for removing debris from the water supply:
Regular cleaning and maintenance (manual or automated) are essential for peak performance. Consult a certified irrigation designer to select the right filtration system.
5. Mainline
Transfers water from the source to the zone control valves. Usually made from:
6. Zone Control Valves
These valves control the flow to each irrigation zone and may be:
7. Submain
Connects the mainline to lateral pipes. Typically:
8. Lateral Pipework
Delivers water along the crop rows. Usually made of:
9. Emitters
Apply water directly to the root zone. Options include:
10. Flushing Points
Properly designed systems include flushing points to remove sediment and maintain water quality throughout the network.
