Irrigation Pump Handbook

Proper irrigation requires growers to understand soil properties, climatology, hydraulics, botany, and engineering. Effective, efficient irrigation is the result of knowing when and how much to irrigate. Making the best possible use of the water supply with a minimal impact on water quality minimises energy costs and therefore saves the owner money.This Irrigation Pump Handbook is a comprehensive presentation of modern irrigation. The aim is not to provide a ‘how-to’ guide to building an irrigation system; rather it is to explain why an irrigation system is complex, and to make that complexity understandable.
