Components for 1 Acre Driplines System

The cost and installation process of a dripline irrigation system for 1 acre of farm involves several components.

Driplines

It is the main part of the drip irrigation system. Without the driplines, there is no precise flow of water to the crop root zones. Driplines have emitter holes placed on different spacing distances to irrigate various crops. 15cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm spacing distances are available.

Mainline HDPE pipes

These are pipes that allow water to reach the driplines from the source point. Available in different diameter levels ranging from 20 mm to 350 mm diameter size. Mainline pipes are tensile and strong to allow waterproof connection and long-term water supply.

Sub-Mainline 

Smaller branches of the mainline pipes. The goal of the sub-mainline is to supply water to various farm sections for easier coverage of a large farm. Consist of either HDPE or PVC pipes of smaller diameter than the mainline pipes

Other Accesories

• Laterals or risers – Risers are for connecting sub-mainline pipes to the driplines.
• Ball Valves – They are for controlling the water supply to various sections or pipelines.
• Water Filters – To get rid of debris and sand particles which can be a danger or risk clogging the driplines.
