Types Of Irrigation Systems NH

By Janet Fisher


The distribution of certain amounts of water into soil or on plants and at regulated intervals is known as irrigation. Irrigation systems NH offer the best techniques in which to carry on farming either in large scale or small scale. They offer systems that boost plant growth and development in addition to maintaining the landscape and soil conditions. In dry areas where there is deprivation of plant life, they boost in the re-growth of vegetation. They also aid in protecting plants from various harmful elements that may hinder their development. Sewage disposal and mining industries also make use of these systems in certain processes. In addition to this, they also serve a vital role in dust suppression.

With the recent growth in the agricultural sector, various new techniques have been introduced to help in farming activities. As such various new irrigation methods have been put in place. One such type is the drip system. It is also known as trickle. Here, water is transported to the plants root zone where it is allowed to flow drop after drop. This is a convenient method of distributing water on the farm, because it minimizes runoff and evaporation; hence, conserving a lot of water.

The distribution of water in form of a flood through a field is referred to as surface scheme. This method is also preferred since water is evenly spread out and is able to completely soak the soil. However, it requires a lot of water, therefore, reserved for areas with abundant water supply.

Another technique that is commonly used most especially by large scale farmers is the use of sprinklers. The sprinklers are strategically placed at specific localities around the farm where they are subjected under high pressure that causes them to spray water into the air that then breaks up into smaller water droplets, which fall in the manner of rain.

The raising up of liquid levels up to a certain point so as to moisturize soil is referred to as sub-scheme. This system is mostly common in regions with higher deposits of liquid pockets say river valleys. It is a convenient system since excess water is recycled. The recycled water can be put into domestic use or even given to animals; thus, conserving water.

Soaker hose pipes is yet another efficient method. Its porous design enable it to slowly release water throughout its length; thus, ensuring complete infiltration into the soil.

Other methods include localized and in-ground systems. In localized, water flows under low pressure through pipes installed. On the other hand, in-ground systems allow passage of water through channels that are installed underground.

These types of methods have made the agriculture sector to grow and develop. They have greatly boosted crop production; therefore, ensuring a steady supply of food.
