Design Of Drip Irrigation System
Design a Drip Irrigation for a Field of size 100 m X 60 m.
• Crop: Banana
• Spacing: 1.5 m X 1.5 m
• Assume suitable data
Design:
• No of Rows of Banana =60 /1.5 +1 =41 nos.
• No. of Plants per row = 100/1.5 +1 = 68 Nos.
• Consider the Submain pipe @ centre of field providing
Laterals on both side.
• Number of crops on Single Lateral= 68/2 =34 Nos.
Total Number of Plants in field = 41x68= 2788 Nos.
Design Of Drip Irrigation System
Peak Crop Water Requirement per plant = AxBxCxD Litres per Day per plant
= Crop Area X Canopy factor X Crop Factor X ETp/Day (Evapotranspiration Rate)
= (1.5 x1.5 ) x 0.9 x 0.9 x 8.5
= 15.49 say 16 litres per day
Hence water requirement of Banana crop = 16 LPD
Hence provide 4 LPH Turbo Key Dripper 1 no per plant
Number of hrs of irrigation = 16/4 = 4 Hrs.
Number of Banana plants on submain = 2788
Number of Banana plants on Lateral = 34 each side
SDR of lateral = No. of Drippers per plant X discharge of dripper / Spacing of dripper
= 1 x 4 /1.5 = 2.67 LPH/meter
Refer SDR Charts for Lateral . Chk headloss in Lateral (Less than 1 m )
Provide 16 mm dia Lateral

SDR of submain = No.of Plants on submain x No. of drippers per plant X Dripper discharge /Length
of submain
= 2788 X 1 X 4 /60 = 185.87 LPH/m
Refer SDR Charts for Submain. Chk headloss in submain (Less than 1 m )
Provide 63 mm RPVC submain.

Discharge of Main Line = 44.608 /4 = 11.15 Cum/Hr


Provide 90 mm RPVC pipe main line (Refer Pipe product catalogue )

Design Of Sprinkler Irrigation System
Steps in Design of Sprinkler Irrigation System
1. Find water requirement of crops
2. Select suitable sprinkler type to suit the crop, soil and
topography.
3. Find SDR of Lateral. Refer product chart and decide
size/diameter of lateral.
4. Find SDR of submain. Refer charts and decide
size/diameter of submain.
5. Find discharge of main line. Refer product charts and
decide size/diameter of main pipe.
