The importance of design
70%
For agricultural irrigation
30% domestic and industrial use
Irrigation is the most important factor for the quality and quantity of agricultural production and absorbs more than 70% of a nation's water resource compared to other uses. Irrigation systems are also essential in the ornamental and residential fields for the growth of plants and turf
Despite these considerations, the design and making are sometimes carried out inadequately, with systems that are often too inefficient
To obtain the maximum benefit from an irrigation system, the water must reach uniformly each emitter and therefore the plant. Otherwise we will have problems of water and energy waste, different conditions of ripening of the plants and quality of the fruits
For example...
For a system with 70% efficiency, one third of the water is not used by the roots of the plants.
Here are the consequences of poor design
30%
Higher water consumption
30%
Higher energy consumption
-15%
Lower agricultural production
35%
Higher costs for system and pump
Professional design tools allow you to solve all these issues and have a large margin of improvement in terms of time and reliability of the results. Often the design software is limited to the drawing of the system and the list of materials without giving the right importance to the useful aspect. A more advanced solution must therefore be found
