Frequently asked questions
What is irrigation?
Irrigation broadly refers to the process of supplying water to an intended target, such as land and crops to facilitate growth.
Irrigation can be used in a commercial, industrial or recreational context and involves a range of components and irrigation systems to ensure water is delivered in a controlled manner from a source for an intended purpose.
What is an irrigation solution or system?
An irrigation solution refers to a tailor-made irrigation system that fulfils your growing or landscaping needs. Such a solution incorporates a collection of equipment, components and technology that work together across the area of operations to distribute water efficiently.
There are many types of irrigation solutions and systems including drip and micro-irrigation, centre pivot irrigation and sprinkler irrigation systems. Different systems are optimally suited for different farming applications depending on many factors such as crop, climate, soil type, topography and available resources.
What is controlled irrigation?
Controlled irrigation is a general term that refers to a system that maintains the desired level of moisture for crop growth, with or without the need for a human operator. Control systems come in many forms, from simple solutions to more advanced controlled irrigation systems that use smart technology or software for remote and automatic control.
How do you design an irrigation system?
An irrigation system is designed by taking into account many factors such as the crop or plants to be irrigated, the climate, soil type, available water, and applying knowledge about the available solutions to the situation.
In most cases there is an important trade-off to be made between up-front costs and operating costs. For example, installing larger pipes may save enough energy to justify their higher initial cost.
What is smart irrigation?
Smart irrigation refers to irrigation that is controlled by, or relies on, autonomous modern digital infrastructure for operation, analysis and maintenance.
The owner of a smart irrigation system may be able to access it via the cloud and control various facets of the system while monitoring key performance indicators provided by the digital platform.
Smart irrigation can provide a range of benefits, from water savings and cost savings to autonomous scheduling.
