<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Configurations Of Farm Irrigation Systems</h2><br />

<div class='uawarticle'>Modern farming has not changed much since it was developed tens of thousands of years ago. In order to be successful in modern times, the farmer needs to be successful at efficiently getting water to the crops. Using the right <a href="https://www.montgomerycreekirrigation.com/from-pump-to-crop/">farm irrigation systems</a> helps make sure the crops have water and the cost is minimized.<br />
<br />
Surface irrigation systems are simple and usually require no mechanical pump to set up and operate. This simple process uses gravity to move the water through channels between the rows to practically flood the field. This system has been in place for thousands of years and is one of the most common systems in use in the world today. Because of its simplicity and reduced need for mechanical intervention, it is also considered one of the most cost-effective in place.<br />
<br />
Localized processes are designed for crops that need water close to the roots. Pipes are typically placed between the rows with holes to allow the water to spray or drip into the soil at a low rate. Flooding the field does not work for this system because the crops need the water directly into the root system. There is very little evaporation with this system.<br />
<br />
Sprinkler equipment is used to simulate rainfall. With this design, the water is pumped through a system and the pipes spray the water into the air. It breaks into small droplets and then falls to the ground much the way a typical rainfall would work. This allows for a nice, even distribution of the water to the crops.<br />
<br />
The central pivot configuration also uses the sprinkler system. The equipment is designed to rotate on wheels around a central point, spraying the water out as it moves. It usually takes a full day, depending on the size and speed set, for the equipment to make the full circle. Since the equipment stays in the same place, there is no need to reconnect the hoses as would be needed in the lateral equipment.<br />
<br />
The lateral configuration is nearly identical to the central pivot system. The difference is this does not include the anchor point. Instead, the equipment moves along in a straight line. Some have to be manually moved. Another difference is that there have to be water risers placed at intervals so the hoses can be moved and reconnected to maintain the appropriate water pressure. Someone has to monitor the crops and equipment every few hours to make this happen.<br />
<br />
There are sub-irrigation systems for indoor use. These have pipes or tubes running under the plants. Water is pushed into the tubes and comes out directly into the root area. This is great for areas that have too much evaporation or are inside where larger systems cannot be used. The excess water runs off into a catch system and is reused.<br />
<br />
With food being grown in various environments and landscapes, the different types of irrigation processes are designed to address each problem that may arise. Having the right type of equipment and process in place makes the job of growing crops easier and more cost effective.<br />
