The maintenance of an optimal level of moisture in the ground implies a low water pressure therein. The moisture that remains is near field capacity, which is very difficult to achieve with other irrigation systems. This creates the need to water daily creating the possibility of waterlogging and root suffocation. The situation necessitates frequent intervention because of constant movement of water may lead to excessive leaching of nutrients.
The mechanical sprinkler system mimics the effect of rainfall water supplied under pressure through hoses; water is propelled into the air as droplets, which fall on the plants. The technique can be broken down into micro spray, similar to the previous but more localized and therefore more efficient.
Micro-irrigation delivers water to the plant roots in a localized fashion. It is a water saving technology, which prevents further runoff. It may also be done through infiltration or by means of buried porous pipes. Irrigated agriculture is the supply of significant quantities of water to crops through various artificial methods. This type of agriculture requires capital investment and careful water infrastructure: canals, irrigation, sprinklers and pools, which entails advanced technical development. Irrigated crops typically include fruit, rice, cotton, vegetables and beets.
Sprinkler or drip equipment connected to computerized systems can regulate amount, humidity and fertilization used. The drip system is very suitable for places where water is scarce. To implement an efficient irrigation system, users should carefully consider the water-plant-soil matrix. There is also the exudative textile system, which was created in the '80s by the French winemaker Rene Petit, who concluded that the existing systems had severe limitations and drawbacks due to its design and they were restricted by the material used in manufacture.
He then created a textile and the porous tube where water was applied to soil through the pores of textile tube wall, forming a continuous and uniform moisture across the line length of porous tubes. These mechanisms have the following characteristics: water savings between 50-60%, less sealing problems due to dissolved salts and suspended solid particles present in all the irrigation water. This is in addition to tensile, long lasting, portability and easy to install characteristics.
The watering is uniform, varying the flow rate with the pressure, and can be installed on the surface or buried. It is deal for row crop watering and gardening. It is possible water at only 0.2 bar pressure thus saving energy, allowing water to filter by gravity. There are also resistant to UV, weathering and chemicals commonly used in agriculture and gardening. Users enjoy low cost of labor.
Irrigation water is obtained from rivers, lakes or continuous streams of natural water wells (which get their water from underground aquifers) or wastewater treatment stations. This is in addition to desalination of sea water and to a lesser extent of salt lakes, which have the risk of salinizing land.
Localized watering mechanisms came about as a major technological improvement, thus contributing to greater productivity. It involves a profound change within the application systems to ground water, to the point that can be considered as a new technique of agricultural production practices. Its main features include application of water to the ground from a source that may be considered timely, infiltrates the soil and moves in horizontal and vertical direction. This differs substantially from traditional mechanisms in which gravity forces predominate and thus the vertical movement.
