Vijayapura: In northern Arid Karnataka, the economy in the use of water for agriculture is a highly valued skill in a farmer.
Efficient irrigation system, which ensures value for every drop of water, can find several areas that are more suitable for experimental processes, and one device that achieves almost complete water utilization has been developed by Jayashri Pattanashetti from the Vijayapura district.
Diploma holder, Jayashri tried to come up with a device that simplified the sub-surface irrigation system after Prime Minister Narendra Nashy Pithy to farmers – ‘per drop, more plants’.
“This device ensures full use of water, and is superior to this on any existing sub-surface irrigation system.
This device is almost 10-12 inches, and consists of two parts – the top of the cylindrical, with a diameter of 1.5 inches, And elongated up to eight inches.
It’s right with the tube.
While the top tube is connected to a conventional drip line above the surface, the second tube performs the function of the air ventilator.
Another entity of this device is a hollow mounted object, at the bottom of the cylinder.
After connecting to the line Drops, almost half of the length of the device buried underground.
Water from the drops line flows into the device tube, and irrigates the ground, “Jayashri told Toi.
Furthermore, this device is designed to warn farmers if there is a blockage in the funnel hole.
“In such a scenario, the device is filled with water to the edge, and gushes out through the wind hole, warns farmers in the field.
All farmers to do in such situations are by lifting the device, and fixing connections to ensure water continues to be supplied without interruption, “Jayashri said, adding that the metallic device was rs 500.” If it was made using PVC pipe plastic, it will last longer, while the production costs will go down to Rs 40, “he added, I took it to the mechanic, which prepared this device .
“This device was tested on Grape GrapeabagagageWadi farms, Abdul Rajati.” This system is more flexible compared to the existing, because there is a slight waste of water, time and energy, “Abdul said.
