Characteristics of Pipeline Irrigation System
Compared with general soil canal irrigation, pipeline irrigation system has the following advantages:
1. Save water and energy
Water delivery by irrigation pipes reduces the loss of infiltration and evaporation in the process of water delivery. The utilization coefficient of water in the pipeline irrigation system reaches 95% ~ 97%, the water-saving amount of which is about 30% more than that in the earth canal system and the energy-saving amount of which is 20% ~ 30% more than that in the earth canal. The water saving of canal irrigation area is about 40% than that of earth canal irrigation.
2. Save land and labor
According to statistics, the channel area covers an area of 1% ~ 2%. By using pipeline irrigation for irrigation, the pipeline basically replaces the field canal system. So it can save a lot of land, which is more important for the regions with rare land resources. The implementation of pipeline irrigation reduces the water delivery time and shortens the irrigation cycle. And it is convenient for operation and management. So, it can save labor based on the above factors.
3. Increase production and income
Pipeline irrigation improves the irrigation conditions in the field. It is conducive to timely and appropriate irrigation, so as to meet the water requirements of crop growth in time and effectively. So, it has the effect of increasing production and income.
4. Strong adaptability and convenient management
Pipeline irrigation is a kind of pressure water supply, which can be applied to all kinds of terrain, making it difficult for the original soil canal to reach the irrigated farmland to realize irrigation and expand the irrigation area.
Because the equipment of pipeline water conveyance irrigation is relatively simple and the technology is easy to control, the operation and management are convenient. In addition, it is convenient to calculate and control the water consumption of pipeline irrigation, which provides convenience for irrigation water management.
