Measured Irrigation

Measured Irrigation

About

 

Measured irrigation is a drip irrigation scheduling technique. 

For conventional irrigation systems, the volume of water delivered by a dripper during the irrigation event depends upon the flow rate. But for measured irrigation the volume of water delivered by a dripper during the irrigation event is independent of the flow rate.

An irrigation system that is independent of the flow rate is a potential threat to multinational irrigation companies that have billions of dollars invested in pressurised irrigation technology. It is not surprising therefore that no irrigation company worldwide has so far shown any interest in measured irrigation. If you are interested in measured irrigation you are unlikely to receive any encouragement or support from the irrigation industry.
