Drip

The scarcity of water in Australia has resulted in the implementation of strict water restrictions and permanent water conservation measures which have changed the way we think about irrigation. These tough conditions have increased the awareness of drip and micro irrigation in Australia which is the driest inhabited continent on earth.

Drip irrigation is the slow application of water and/or nutrients directly to the plant’s root system. This is achieved by using emitters or drippers to maintain an optimum moisture level in the soil profile. This slow release of water and nutrients directly to the root zone results in reduced water loss due to evaporation and runoff, and makes water available to the plant root system ensuring healthy and vigorous plant growth.

Darling Irrigation will help you ensure no water is wasted on non-growth land. Drip systems are used in a variety of row and broadacre crops such as cotton, lucerne, field crops, vegetables, home gardens, sports fields and parks.

One of the most important advantages of using drip irrigation is that it uses less water and increases yields, and therefore you the grower get more return for your crop using less water.

Darling Irrigation offers a full drip irrigation design package. The grower's land is specifically catered for through the use of GPS coordinates. We will design water pump stations, optimum areas for growth, optimum water pressure as well as supplying irrigation materials and irrigation equipment, installing them and training the growers so that they know how to use the irrigation systems effectively. By using digital irrigation design programs, we can show you exactly where the water pump will be, as well as the water filtration and irrigation equipment maintenance required.
