Farm Irrigation


Fun facts about drip irrigation is that it takes water straight to the crop providing necessary crop needs for the crop to bloom. Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient ways to provide crops need and supply unlimited amounts of nutrients and vital needs for the crop. Drip irrigation system saves time and money. Sprinkler systems are less efficient than a drip system because sprinkler systems tend to fail to provide water at giving times. Drip system is a type of watering system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of the plants. We as a class use drip irrigation systems because of the facts listed above.     
An irrigation system is process in which water can be supplied through pipes, ditches, and sprinklers. Main objective of an irrigation system is to help agriculture crops grow. The main importance of a irrigation system is to keep crops moisturized necessary for the germination of seeds. Plants can absorb nutrients and minerals from the irrigated soil. Because of an irrigation system its possible to supply the amount of hydrogen and oxygen necessary.
Possible set up: First step is to connect a water supply with 3/4 inch PVC pipe. Install a shut off valve in the PVC pipe so water supply could can be turned off. Second step is to install a T-fitting every 6 inches in the PVC pipe that will be used. 3rd step is attaching a 24-volt sprinkler wire to the solenoid on each valve. 4th use a 1/4inch spaghetti tubing to deliver water to the plants. 5th Manually open the valves one by one to flush water through the tubing to remove any dirt inside the tubes. Last step is to close off the end of each line by placing a end cap of the end of each tubing.
