Irrigation involves using products such as plumbing fixtures, hoses, and sprinkler systems to move water for plant growth. Irrigation products include pipes, fittings, control valves, and sprinklers or drippers. Drip irrigation and sprinkler systems are common types. Accessories can adapt hoses for better irrigation. Materials vary from plastic to metal, with metal used more in industrial agriculture. Drip irrigation involves PVC and polyethylene pipes and valves. Accessories include filters, timers, and valves for specific parts of the system.
Irrigation is artificial irrigation done by flowing water from one place to another using irrigation products. Common examples of watering tools include plumbing fixtures, hoses, and sprinkler systems. Irrigation products include every part of an irrigation system, including irrigation pipes and fittings, control valves that regulate water flow, and sprinklers or drippers used to distribute irrigated water. The word irrigation is also used less frequently to describe wastewater removal systems such as sewer pipes, which move wastewater from one place to another for disposal, so irrigation products can be products used for irrigate the waste.
Irrigation can be done in many ways with a large number of irrigation products. Types of irrigation for plants and gardens include drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. One of the simplest and most common watering products is the everyday garden hose. In addition to the hose itself, irrigation products include any accessories that adapt the hose for better irrigation. Often, a garden hose is used to connect a sprinkler or drip irrigation system to its water source.
The material that goes into a garden hose varies depending on its use, but often includes plastic or metal. While plastic is used more frequently for small-scale irrigation systems such as home gardens, metal is used more frequently in industrial agricultural settings. Metal pipes used for industrial agriculture are often reinforced pipes specially designed to protect against leaks in the irrigation system. Other irrigation products include pipe fittings that adjust or change the direction of straight pipes in an irrigation system, such as elbows, tees, and end caps.
Drip irrigation is a common type of irrigation used for agricultural purposes. Typically, a drip system involves polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used in conjunction with smaller polyethylene pipes and valves that control the flow of water through the drip irrigation system. Drip irrigation can also be known as drip irrigation.
Irrigation systems can be equipped with a series of accessories that perform specific tasks necessary for the type of drip irrigation. Many irrigation systems produce filtered water, while some provide nutrients and fertilizers with the water delivered in the drip irrigation system. Other drip irrigation products have self-controlled timers that trigger the sprinkler system to start watering. Some also have valves that can be used to water specific parts of the irrigation system, which can be useful in agricultural systems that grow different types of plants.
