How does Rivulis Subsurface Drip Irrigation work?

Watch this video to find the most relevant information and advantages of SDI – Subsurface Drip Irrigation system

Underground Drip System

• Every irrigation system begins with a water source, from there, the water is transported through a pipe to the pumping station, which builds the pressure in the system.
• The filtration system ensures that the water quality meets the crop needs.
• The fertilizing system provides nutrients to the plants and the controller manages the irrigation process.
• Once the control head is installed, it can be connected to the main line which in turn delivers water to the different field sections.
• Each section has its own control head with a dedicated control valve and a filter.
• A hose or a manifold is deployed at the head of the section. The drip lines are connected to the hose or manifold and laid out along the crop rows.
• From the water source to the drip lines, the system is now ready for operation.
• When the pump is turned on it draws the water into the pipe through the suction filter in the reservoir.
• The pump provides energy to the water enabling proper operation of the system.
• The filtration system blocks dirt particles, promoting effective and long-lasting performance.
• The fertilizer Pump provides precise amounts of nutrients required to meet the specific needs of the plant at each stage of growth.
• The control valve on the mainline regulates the water pressure as it moves downstream into the field sections.
• The valve maintains the required pressure and ensures that each field section receives the correct amount of water.
• The secondary valve is turned on according to the irrigation plan
• The manifold is now filled carrying the water throughout the field to the pre-installed drip lines.
• The drip lines produce efficient and uniform flow, delivering an equal amount of water to each plant.
• Supported by effective irrigation, the crop seedlings can now emerge into the light and grow into strong and healthy plants.
