The total area is divided into basins, so that the area of each basin ranges from 4 to 8 acres. The maximum daily time available for irrigation in the solar system is 6 hours in summer and 4 hours in winter. In the event that the time required to irrigate half of the land surface exceeds 6 hours, drip irrigation networks must be implemented by more than one surface pump, so that the number of operating hours for one pump does not exceed 6 hours per day. Selection of points disposal The water passes through the dripper and comes out in the form of droplets at a constant low rate (1-10 liters/hour) at a pressure equal to atmospheric pressure. Atomizers with a discharge of 2 liters / hour are used for clay and loamy soils Drippers with a discharge of 4-6 liters / hour were used for sandy soils, and the aim of using drippers with a higher drainage rate in this porous soil is to reach the largest wet area as soon as possible so that the roots of the plant can absorb the water before it sinks to the bottom. In comparison, if a low disposal rate of the drops is used in the sandy soil, this will lead to the soil absorbing the water below the points, while the rest of the area remains not wet and the water does not reach the roots of the plant. Choose the distance between the drippers or sprinklers Different types of soil yield different “wet” patterns and for proper coverage you will need to study your soil type. Sandy soil does not allow water to spread horizontally from points, so points must be used at close distances. On the contrary, in clay soils, the water spreads out horizontally away from each drop, so it is necessary to use drops at large distances.
