Introduction to the application and advantages of drought-resistant pipes in agriculture

Due to the anti-aging and anti-freeze cracking properties of the Fujian drought-resistant pipe itself, its service life is long; in addition, the inner wall of the drought-resistant pipe is smooth, reducing head loss; more noteworthy is its good flexibility and easy coiling, which can adapt to terrain changes and make construction and installation more convenient. Therefore, drought-resistant pipes are mainly used in the water head adjustment of agricultural irrigation systems, the installation of drippers and micro-sprinklers, drainage and irrigation systems, water conservancy projects, chemical industry, factory cooling, etc.
In farmland water conservancy irrigation, compared with open channel irrigation, pipeline water conveyance irrigation has many advantages and has become a major measure in the vigorously promoted water-saving irrigation technology. Its main advantages are:

1. Water saving. Since pipeline water conveyance generally adopts underground laying, it basically eliminates water seepage loss and evaporation loss. In addition, using flexible PE irrigation pipes can irrigate the fields section by section from far to near along the ridge regardless of the terrain, with long ridges and short irrigation, ensuring uniform irrigation.

2. Low cost and high efficiency. Since farmland irrigation pipeline water conveyance is pressurized water supply, it can adapt to various terrains, enabling irrigation of farmland that was difficult to reach with earthen channels, thus expanding the irrigated area. In addition, the cost of pipeline irrigation is also lower. In the case of water supply from wells or pumping stations, pipeline irrigation reduces energy consumption by about 30% compared with channel irrigation.

Due to the expanded irrigation area, increased irrigation frequency, and timely irrigation, even in generally dry years, yields can increase by about 20%. Timely and appropriate irrigation shortens the irrigation cycle. Earthen channel irrigation often affects crop growth and reduces yields due to long irrigation cycles and untimely irrigation. Farmland irrigation pipeline water conveyance overcomes this shortcoming better.
