Irrigation System. Water is delivered under pressure to the orchard through a low-volume irrigation system.
Low-volume emitters discharge 10 gallons per hour and are spaced at one per tree The cost for the low-volume
irrigation system includes the cost of a pump, filtration system, hoses, emitters, and installation. The life of the
irrigation system is estimated at 40 years. The above ground portion of the irrigation system will probably have
to be replaced once per ten years, but is not separated out in this study.
