Ultrasonic algae control solution for irrigation reservoirs industry - Water and Wastewater - Irrigation
Prevent clogging of filters: Water used for irrigation can contain high levels of nutrients; some of these nutrients are beneficial for the plants watered, but can also lead to extensive algal growth. Algae in irrigation reservoirs can clog the irrigation system and can also be spread over the irrigated area. In addition, some types of fungus also present in these waters can be extremely harmful for the plants grown.

Almost 60 percent of all the world’s freshwater withdrawals go towards irrigation uses, where landholders use water basins and farm dams to irrigate their crops. Irrigation waters are vulnerable to blue-green algal blooms- particularly during peak summer months.
Because of an algal bloom, the water source may become contaminated. It is recommended to avoid the use of contaminated water since it can have a negative impact on humans’ health.
