Comparing Irrigation Systems
Investing in the right irrigation solution is crucial to ensuring you make the most of your water. No two farms are the same, so it’s important to consider the right solution for your needs. Take a look at the pros and cons of some of the main irrigation systems below.
The leading method of crop and pasture irrigation in many areas, pivot systems boast up to 95% efficiency in water dispersion at a relatively low cost.
Advantages
Considerations
Properly planned solid-set systems lend themselves to their low labour requirement and can be gun, fixed sprinkler, or solid set. And unlike centre pivots, they’re suited for irregular shaped blocks or hard to water areas such as pivot corners and areas that make others forms of irrigation unviable (i.e. protected trees).
Advantages
Considerations
Drip or subsurface irrigation is recognised as the most efficient and advanced irrigation solution because it allows for the system to be localised for maximum accuracy, control and automation. The flipside, however, is that these systems require a level of maintenance and system knowledge to maximise their potential.
