For an agrarian economy such as India, efficient water delivery systems are crucial to ensuring a healthy crop yield. Not only is a mechanism needed that transports water to all the desired locations, but it also ensures only the quantity required is dispersed.

This is where top water sprinkler systems, such as those by APL Apollo, become the need of the hour. In this article, we take a look at the different components of a sprinkler irrigation system and how they work.


1. The Pump

The pump is the heart of a water sprinkler for agriculture. This component is responsible for drawing water from the source and pumping it up to the pipes.


2. Pipes

Just like the pump is the heart, these pipes function like the arteries in the body. The piping system transports water from the pump to the different locations in the field. This is one of the most crucial parts of the water sprinkler system, as any leakage or crack here can compromise the entire system. This is why it is essential to only choose high-quality HDPE pipes that are durable as well as chemical and corrosion-resistant, as they are specifically designed for sprinkler irrigation. APL Apollo produces HDPE pipes as per IS:14151 in Class-I and Class-II, which are available in 3 and 6 meters, ranging from 63mm to 125mm in diameter.


3. Sprinkler Heads

Simply using a pipe can lead to excess water being transported, which may be damaging for certain crops while also wasting this precious resource. Sprinkler heads optimise the amount of water to be dispersed by showering the crops with tiny droplets that effectively keep the soil moisturised for the crops to thrive. Further, these sprinkler systems can be adjusted to water the plant with gentle drops or a stream of water as required.


4. Customised Solutions

Sprinkler irrigation systems can be customised in terms of timing and water distribution quantity for diverse crops. This allows each crop to be watered in the right amount and at the right amount to achieve maximum yield with minimum waste.

 

The Best Water Sprinkler System by APL Apollo

The APL Apollo sprinkler irrigation system is designed using top-quality raw materials and technology to ensure uniform and smooth water distribution with higher efficiency. This system offers customised solutions, making it an optimal choice not just for various agriculture needs but also for diverse residential and industrial applications.

The HDPE pipes used here are UV-stabilised and non-reactive to corrosion or chemicals. Further, the sturdy joining process prevents leaks and cracks, which can not only disrupt the water flow but also weaken the structural integrity of the system. The HDPE pipes by APL Apollo are manufactured as per IS:14151 in Class-I and Class-II and are available in 3 and 6 meters, ranging from 63mm to 125mm in diameter. The different sizes enable efficient coverage for both small and large areas as well as boost adaptability for all irrigable soils.

All these advantages make the APL Apollo water sprinkler system ideal for use in all field crops like wheat, gram, pulses, vegetables, cotton, soya bean, tea, coffee, and other fodder crops. Further, it can also be used in residential, industrial, hotel, resort, public and government enterprises, golf links, and race courses.

 

Conclusion

Sprinkler irrigation systems are highly beneficial for crop cultivation. The reduced dependence on manpower and precision water dispersion allows for maximum yield with optimum water distribution. Further, the gentle droplets water the crops evenly without leading to excess pools of water at the crop roots, which could damage the crop or erode the soil. Thus, when it comes to effectively watering land, whether it is for agriculture or other purposes, it is best to opt for APL Apollo’s customisable sprinkler system.
