What Are The Advantages of Pipe Irrigation?


What are the advantages of pipe irrigation? Let us get to know it now.

China is a big agricultural country. There are many people who use irrigation water in farmland. There are many ways to irrigate farmland, such as ground irrigation, canal irrigation, drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and so on. However, in fact, the realization of these irrigation methods is inseparable from the pipeline, that is to say, these are all pipeline irrigation. So, do you know what are the advantages of pipe irrigation? Next, we will talk to you about pipe irrigation.
 
The pipe-type irrigation system is generally composed of water delivery system and water distribution system, and the water delivery system use irrigation pipes, which generally adopts plastic pipe, cast iron pipe, reinforced concrete pipe or other hard pipe. The water distribution system generally adopts PVC rigid pipe. In addition, it can assist water supply bolt and movable nylon plastic hose and other supporting facilities.

Generally, according to its mobility, pipeline irrigation system can be divided into three types: fixed pipeline irrigation system, semi-fixed pipeline irrigation system and mobile pipeline irrigation system. According to different pipe pressure and irrigation mode, pipeline irrigation system can be divided into sprinkler irrigation system, drip irrigation system and low-pressure pipeline water delivery irrigation system. Among them, low-pressure pipeline irrigation, also known as pipeline irrigation is widely used. In field irrigation technology, it still belongs to ground irrigation.

The advantages of pipeline irrigation are as follows:
1. Water saving.
The pipeline water delivery system can reduce the leakage and evaporation loss, and improve the utilization rate of water resources. The low-pressure pipeline irrigation can save 1/3 of the water compared with the canal irrigation, which is a useful water-saving irrigation engineering measure.

2. Energy saving.
Pipeline irrigation has more water consumption than canal irrigation, but by saving water, the utilization rate of water can be improved. And some water resources can be saved.

3. Fast water delivery, time saving and labor saving.
Pipeline irrigation is carried out under a certain pressure, which is generally faster than that of soil canal irrigation. Timely water supply can save irrigation labor.

4. Timely irrigation to help agricultural production.
Pipeline irrigation can not only improve the field irrigation conditions, but also reduce the water loss and shorten the irrigation cycle, so as to meet the water demand for crop growth and increase yield and increase income.

5. Lower the land utilization efficiency.
People engaged in agricultural production know that there will be a certain amount of land occupied near their own land. In order to facilitate irrigation and occupy a large amount of land at the same time. Due to the shortage of land resources in China, the per capita occupation of cultivated land is less than 1.5 mu, and pipeline irrigation will save a certain amount of land utilization.
