Overview

Water is a very important resource for life on earth, Proper collection of rainwater will go a long way for better lifestyle, Efficient and judious use of water will help cultivation round the year and reduce cost on cultivation.





Systems



  • This type of micro-irrigation system has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface.
  • The goal is to water the root zone, directly, and minimize evaporation. We make sure our systems are designed in accordance with the type of crop and the weather conditions prevailing in the Location.
    •

    The benefits are minimized water, manure, and energy usage & Infrastructure.




  • A sprinkler device is used in irrigating crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses and also for cooling, and control of airborne dust. This method of irrigation replicates dispersion of water by rainfall.
  • Advantages of Sprinkler Irrigation System:
  • Easy to operate
  • High irrigation efficiency due to uniform distribution of water
  • Accurate and easy measurement of water
  • Land levelling is not essential
  • Soluble manure, herbicides and fungicides can be applied in water economically
  • Protection of crop against high temperature that reduce their quality and quantity.













  • Rainwater Harvesting Techniques:
  • Storage of rainwater on surface for future use.
  • Recharge to ground water.

    • The storage of rain water on surface is a traditional technique and the structures used were underground tanks, ponds, check dams, weirs etc. Recharge to ground water is a new concept of rain water harvesting and the structures generally used are :-


  • Pits:

    • Recharge pits are constructed for recharging the shallow aquifer. These are constructed 1-2 m wide and to 3 m deep, which are filled with boulders, gravels, coarse sand.

  • Trenches:

    • These are constructed when the permeable stram is available at a shallow depth. Trench may be 0.5-1 m. wide, 1-1.5m. deep and 10-20 m. long depending on availability of water. These are attached with filter materials.

  • Dug wells:

    • Existing dug wells may be utilised as recharge structure and water should pass through filter media before diversion to the dug well.

  • Hand pumps:

    • The existing hand pumps may be used for recharging the shallow/deep aquifers, if the availability of water is limited. Water should pass through filter media before diverting it into hand pumps.

  • Recharge wells:

    • Recharge wells of 0.5-1 m diameter are generally constructed for recharging the deeper aquifers and water is passed through filter media to avoid choking of recharge wells.

  • Recharge shafts:

    • For recharging the shallow aquifer which are located below clayey surface, recharge shafts of 0.5-3 m. diameter and 10-15 m. deep are constructed and filled with boulders, gravels & coarse sand.

  • Lateral shafts with bore wells:

    • For recharging the upper as well as deeper aquifers lateral shafts of 1.5-2 m. wide & 10-30 m. long, depending upon availability of water, one or two bore wells are constructed. The lateral shafts is filled with boulders, gravels & coarse sand.

  • Spreading techniques:

    • When permeable strata starts from top then this technique is used. Dispersing water to streams/Nalas by making check dams, nala bunds, cement plugs, gabion structures or a percolation pond can be accomplished.
