There are a number of different methods for agricultural irrigation, pipe irrigation is one of them. It is considered a traditional method with quite logic advantages. Pipe irrigation enables extremely precise irrigation with relatively even water distribution over the entire surface. The water resources can be used optimally, wind drift and diffusion into the atmosphere are low. This method is perfect for vegetable crops such as new potatoes, carrots or onions.

THE CLASSIC SYSTEM
Classic irrigation system
Classic irrigation system with sprinkler lines to lay out is perfectly suited for small areas and farms where enough workforce is available to operate the system. The piping system consists of the following main components:
■PUMP UNIT: tractor‑, electro- or diesel pump unit
■MAIN LINE: consisting of pipes laid in the ground or quick-coupling pipes, depending on the individual situation
■PIPELINES AND SPRINKLER: The pipeline and the sprinklers need to be moved to the next position after the desired precipitation rate has been reached. Small as well as wide range sprinklers are suitable for this system. The type of the sprinkler depends on the size of the irrigated area.
The average expenditure of work for this irrigation system is approx. 2–3 hours per hectare and irrigation amount.
