Performance evaluation of drip irrigation system using two types of irrigation water [electronic resource].

The acute lack of water in many arid and semi-arid countries is
regarded as one of the major challenges to agricultural
production globally. In such areas, fish farm drainage water
would be a reliable water source.. Emitter clogging is the
major factor limiting the effectiveness of fish farm drainage
water drip irrigation systems. In this regard, great precision in
the filtering process is necessary to provide increased
efficiency when using fish farm drainage water with drip
irrigation systems. From September 2021 to April 2022, the
field experiment was carried out in the Wadi El Natroun region
of Egypt's Beheira Governorate (29° 52° 31° N, 31° 30° 35° E).
This study's primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of
three distinct emitter types (GR line D1, Out line D2 and Flat
line D3) in two types of irrigation water (well water and fish
farms drainage water). Iron screen measuring 60 cm long by
22 cm diameter and a cylindrical inner filtration unit
measuring 60 cm long × 15 cm wide made up the filtration unit.
The main results revealed that fish farm drainage water caused
more clogging for all investigated emitter types. The outline
emitter was less clogged while the GR emitter was the most
clogged one in all tested treatments. The outline emitter is
recommended to be used with fish farms drainage water and
need further study, while flat emitter is suggested to be used
with high quality irrigation water
