The Challenge Precision Irrigation for Almond Orchards

Maximizing Resources in Agriculture

Project size: 190 acres
Type of project: Almond Orchard
Irrigation method: Drip
Water quality: Poor
Inlet / pumping pressure: 40 psi
Flow data (total and per irrigation set): 1800 gpm

To succeed in today’s challenging farming business, growers must effectively manage precious resources such as water, nutrients, and energy. Achieving this critical objective is not simple and primarily requires very precise measurement of irrigation volumes.

The Solution Efficient, Reliable Water Management

Electromagnetic Flowmeters for Precision Irrigation
