Growers and Farmers all over the world are always looking at new, alternative, and more efficient methods of irrigation. Most irrigation systems perform at 60-80% uniformity and many have limitations such as:
center pivots do not cover the corners of the field,
irrigation reels which loose about 45% of their water to evaporation and run-off, and
wheel-lines and hand lines, which are inefficient, and also labor intensive.
Some large farms in Alberta have been adapting to Sub Surface Drip Irrigation (SDI) systems. SDI is not a new concept; farmers have successfully been irrigating by this method for more than 20 years, and have been showing increased production, increased efficiency, less labor, and less water consumption. SDI systems have the added benefit of enabling growers to apply fertilizer, and to a limited extent, some pesticides.
