Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation can precisely deliver water and nutrients to the crop right at the root zone. Drip Irrigation system is sometimes called trickle irrigation and involves dripping water onto the soil at very low rates (2-20 litres per hour) from a system of small diameter plastic pipes filled with outlets called emitters or drippers. Water is applied close to the plants so that only part of the soil in which the roots grow is wetted, unlike surface and sprinkler irrigation, which involves wetting the whole soil profile. With drip irrigation water, applications are more frequent than with other methods and this provides a very favourable high moisture level in the soil in which plants can flourish. Another advantages for drip irrigation include low application rates, precise water placement and low operating pressures. Drip irrigation can also be used in irregularly shaped fields to maximize the irrigated acreage. Drip irrigation saves water and it's ideal for areas in which water restrictions are imposed.
Sprinkler Irrigation
Sprinkler irrigation is a method of applying water which is similar to natural rainfall but spread uniformly over the land surface just when needed and at a rate less than the infiltration rate of the soil so as to avoid surface runoff from irrigation. This is achieved by distributing water through a system of pipes usually by pumping which is then sprayed into the air through sprinklers so that it breaks up into small water drops which fall to the ground. The system of irrigation is suitable for undulating lands, with poor water availability, sandy or shallow soils, or where uniform application of water is desired. No land leveling is required as with the surface irrigation methods. The water that is pumped through the pump pipe sprinkler system must be free of suspended sediments. As otherwise there would be chances of blockage of the sprinkler nozzles.
Sprinkler irrigation has high efficiency. It however, varies according to climatic conditions, 60% in warm climate, 70% in moderate climate and 80% in humid or cool climate.
Farmer's training
We also provide basic training to farmers for adapting to latest technologies in farming and irrigation by providing knowledge about various techniques and methods along with best farming practices which includes:
- Encouraging micro irrigation methods such as drips and sprinkler system.
- Crop rotation.
- Empowering them to use latest technologies such as irrigation based apps.
Lift Irrigation System
Lift irrigation schemes accomplish tasks such as to carry water by means of pumps from the water source to the main delivery chamber, which is situated at the top most point in the command area Water is further distributed to the field of the beneficiary farmer's through local distribution network.
Pumping Station and Main Network
This is the part of the project that pertains to the water source and includes major system components such as Booster and large Pump stations, Reservoirs, Main supply lines, pressure and Flow control devices, Automation, Main Control System, Substations etc.
Irrigation system Main Network design and operation starts with careful examination of the available water sources and the physical conditions of the project regarding expected Flow, Pressure, and Quality ranges. Based on these parameters, the project engineer determines the type, size and location of major system components including Pump stations, Reservoirs, Supply lines, Pressure Control Devices, Air Release, Filtration and so on.
These components are then integrated into the Pumping System to achieve Continuous, Reliable, Efficient, and Cost- effective irrigation.
Irrigation Control Head
Here the water supply system is transformed to an Irrigation System. These Irrigation Centers include various types of large size control valves in a variety of applications.
The Irrigation Control Head transforms the Main Network into an irrigation system, with the help of computer control mechanisms.it includes a vantey of applications such as.
- Water metering abilities with outputs to the irrigation controller
- Maintaining of demand and pressure as per system design
- Pressure zoning in accordance with crop, equipment, location and elevation
- Differentiation of irrigation regimes to meet the needs of each crop type and stage
- Central fertilization and filtration systems

(A) PFCMD (PRESSURE FLOW CONTROLLING AND METERING DEVICE)
The hydraulically operated self-actuated control vale at chak level (e.g. 20 Ha) is capable of controlling Pressure and measuring the flow by same valve known as PFCMD (Pressure flow controlling and metering device). The valve shall have integrated into one body, vertical turbine Woltman-Type water meter with a diaphragm actuated hydraulic control valve. The valve is compatible with cloud based control system and SCADA system.
The valve has integrated inlet and outlet flow straighteners to eliminate the need for straight pipe installation requirements.
(B) ON/OFF OUTLET FIELD CONTROL VALVES (FCV)
Outlet field control valves (FCV) shall be hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve. The control valve are open and close drip-tight in response to an electric signal, which causes the solenoid to open or close the valve's internal hydraulic loop. The valve shall be oblique (Y pattern) with "Look Through" design to have high flow capacity Low pressure loss. The body and cover shall be Glass-Filled Nylon material.
(C) COMBINATION AIR VALVE
Every chak outlet valve is installed with combination air valve. It evacuates air during pipeline filling, allows efficient release of air pockets from pressurized pipes and enables large volume air intake in the event of network draining
(D) STRAINER
Every chak outlet valve is installed with Y Type Strainer, which is designed to remove foreign matter such as stones, sticks etc. from the pipeline. It is installed upstream of control valves. The Y Type strainer of 200 microns screen is provided.
