LI023: Low Volume Drip Irrigation Design and Installation
All participants attending any Landscape Ontario onsite seminar will need to present their proof of vaccination along with photo ID upon their arrival.
It seems water is making the news all the time…and water providers are having distribution issues. Conventional spray and rotor irrigation systems can apply water efficiently when designed well. However, even a well designed and installed spray station wastes up to 40 per cent of the applied water. In other words, 40 gallons for every 100 gallons is wasted to wind drift, runoff, overwatering, and more.
Participants will learn what is involved in designing a low volume irrigation system or station along with basic irrigation design principles. Hands-on design work will discuss the incorporation of point-source emitter watering for sparse plantings, landscape drip line for subsurface and on-surface applications for watering mass plantings, deep root watering systems for trees and shrubs, plus more traditional microspray and micro bubbler watering methods.
Low Volume (drip) stations, can operate near 90 per cent efficiency. The water is applied to the plant’s root zone and some systems even provide water sub-surface with moisture sensors. An important topic not to be missed.
Note: Participants should bring a calculator, engineering scale ruler, pencil and notepad.
Recommended prerequisites: seminars LI003, LI007, LI015 or a good irrigation background
LO member price: $125.00
Non-member price: $240.00
