IRRIGATION EVALUATION

Before you begin looking into a Drip Irrigation System, you must evaluate your current needs for irrigation.

THE PURPOSE OF IRRIGATION EVALUATION

• Check irigation efficiency.
• Develop a cost-effective irrigation schedule.
• Identify exisitng problems with the irrigation system.
• Evaluate potential water savings.
• Estimate potential savings in dollars.
• Plan for improved waster distribution.
• Ensure increased quality of landscape.
• Secure excellent neigbour relations.
• Develop accurate methods for determining the irrigation time schedules.

THE BASICS OF THE DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Drip Irrigation is a low-pressure, low-volume lawn and garden watering system that delivers water to home landscapes in a variety of methods. Through a drip, spray or stream, a drip irrigation system keeps roots moist, but not soaked, using less water than other irrigation techniques.

You can hide much of the system under a layer of mulch if you keep any part that emits water on top of the mulch to prevent clogging. The system can also run on top of the soil or mulch, allowing the plants to conceal it as they grow and spread.

While drip irrigation systems use less water than underground sprinkler systems or lawn sprinklers, watering of any kind may be restricted in some areas. Learn your local water regulations before buying and installing any irrigation system.

ADVANTAGES OF DRIP IRRIGATION

The advantage to using trickle or Drip Irrigation is, simply, Water Control. This method of irrigation is precise and economical. A standard lawn sprinkler, for example, might measure the water flow in gallons per minute -- somewhere between one and five is normal.

A Drip Emitter, on the other hand, is rated in gallons per hour. The flow of water is so slow that it is easily absorbed into the ground. In a well-tuned system there is little opportunity for excess water running off and being wasted.

BENEFITS OF DRIP IRRIGATION

According to Lowes, you may substantially reduce your water bills by installing a Drip Irrigation System. These benefits include the following:

• Reduced amount of water is required for irrigation purposes.
• Water conservation results in higher efficiency and lower irrigation costs.
• Water is delivered in correct amounts to specific areas where it is required.
• Water supply lines can be placed on the ground without the need for trenching.
• Water supply lines can be easily moved from one location to another based on specific requirements.

DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Drip Irrigation System Components include various parts:

• Soaker Hoses are the simplest way to create drip irrigation. These garden hoses have tiny holes along its length to allow water to drip out. While cost effective initially, this option uses more water than a drip system.
• Flexible Tubing is used to transport the water from the source to various areas where it may be required.
• Filters are used to prevent any debris from entering into the drip irrigation system.
• Backflow Preventers are used to prevent the water, used in drip irrigation, to flow back into the main water system.
• Pressure Regulators are used to reduce the water pressure from the main water system into the drip irrigation system.
• Fittings are used to connect various parts of the drip irrigation system.
• Timers are used to set time for drip irrigation of designated areas.
• Emitters are inserted into tubing to discharge the water drops in required drip irrigation areas.
