Through the meter, farmers can understand the different electricity usage patterns of different fields, different crops, and identify excessive usage issues, allowing them to take timely measures to reduce electricity costs. For example, during irrigation, the meter can automatically control the irrigation equipment based on soil moisture and crop water ...
Self-cleaning filters play an important role in irrigation systems. The automatic filters can improve irrigation efficiency, help conserve water, reduce labor costs, and extend the life of irrigation equipment. ...
Zimmatic Controllers – The Only Control Panel Compatible with Fieldnet Control panels have always been used on pivot sprinklers. New smart control panels, however, are revolutionizing pivot irrigation. These devices reduce water consumption and lead to savings in time and labour. Zimmatic control panels have everything for the grower who is ready to take complete control of their ...
Challenge: While there are many environmental, operational and cost advantages to pivot irrigation, the pivot hardware alone cannot achieve all of the potential benefits. ...
There are certain factors that should be taken into consideration when choosing the best irrigation system for your specific requirements. Some of these factors include the type of crop you are watering, the size of the land which requires irrigation, where your water is coming from and how much labour the system requires to operate. ...

Irrigation is a significant human activity that affects surface water fluxes in the Tarim River Basin. To quantitatively assess the irrigation impact of this activity on surface water fluxes in the Tarim River, a land surface hydrologic model was coupled with a modified irrigation scheme and a reservoir module and applied to simulate these ...
In the area of industrial and commercial automation (control and monitoring) you would normally use a cable to connect electrical devices. Often the operating device is at a different location from where the switching decision is made and this could be a challenge! For example to operate an irrigation pump far away from your place you could: ...
Adequate knowledge of starting dates and lengths of dry spells has a considerable importance in rain-fed agriculture, irrigation planning, and various decision-making processes. The long dry spells incur heavy costs to the affected communities in the form of lost crop production and reduced crop yield, particularly in semi-arid regions. The sustainability of agriculture very much ...
This paper offers a comparative study of economic history of two of the four largest irrigation systems in the world covering a period of about one hundred years, and points out the major lessons learnt from development experiences. This is especially significant since one is a developing country (which was considered a "more developed" irrigation system a ...
