Irri-Drain� System, one pipe, one system for sub-surface irrigation and drainage. Irri-Drain� System lets you manage water with its proven capability both to irrigate and drain a field using the same pipe and installation. By managing your water level with Irri-Drain�, you take control of the production variables - planting date, fertilizer uptake and plant development... herbicide and insecticide effectiveness, soil compaction, standability/lodging, harvest moisture, and, most importantly, YIELD. Irri-Drain� System:
Sloping Land Design The ADS Irri-Drain� System also works effectively on sloping lands. Head-control stands with overflow baffles are used to distribute the flow in stair-step fashion down the slope. Pressures of no more that 5 psi are sufficient to operate Irri-Drain� system.
Irrigation AND Drainage... At Your Control By installing Irri-Drain� System, you gain better - and immediate - control of moisture in your fields. You simply irrigate when fields are dry... and drain when they are wet. Irii-Drain� lets you neutralize poor weather conditions to give you adequate planning time, increased crop yields and more crop options. In the irrigation process, water can be pumped back from the source, through the feeder pipe, into the perforated pipe system - to where the roots absorb moisture as needed. This PUMP-BACK system raises the water table so that you can maintain the optimum soil moisture level for your crops, encouraging maximum root development. Whenever drainage is required, such as during and right after extended rain, the pump is shut down, and the drainage outlet is opened. With an Irri-Drain� System, you control the timing of both irrigation and drainage - to maximize yields and profits. The source of irrigation water is of major importance. The water supply source can be wells, surface streams or farm ponds. Ponds can have limited volume during drought periods, however, just as surface streams are subject to a depleted water source. Deep wells offer the most reliable water source. The cost of installing a well to support the system can be offset by the potential benefits of higher yields.
