IRRIGATION MAGAZINE

Irrigazette n°117 - Int° Irrigation Magazine
Mark Twain said: Buy Land, they’re not making it any more! And he was spot on. In spite of all the economic and technical advances, we still eat food produced from the Land, we live in dwellings constructed on land, and we walk, run and drive along the surface of the Land. If we take a plane, we always end up coming in to land. We live on the land that feeds us and there are more and more of us. By 2070 the world’s population is likely to peak at around 10 billion inhabitants, two thirds of which will live in urban sprawls. So how are we going to feed all those human beings born in the future?
In Europe or the United States, where they are more concerned about the obesity of their fellow citizens than world hunger, this trepidation may seem remote and unreal. Let’s not be under any illusion, though, because we are directly involved: our politicians are becoming alarmed about carbon dioxide emissions and global overheating, but the erratic increase in the world’s population will certainly give them even more cause for concern. According to a report published by the FAO, there will have to be a 70% increase in world food production by 2050 and arable land will have to expand by around 120 million hectares, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Faced with this global challenge to produce more food, certain countries have decided to take the initiative by purchasing or leasing land in Latin America and Africa, and also in the countries of Asia. The idea is simply to sub-contract production and repatriate the food back to wealthy people in their own country. This fierce competition for available land will become even more intense for an even scarcer resource: water. The professionals from the Irrigation Industry cannot fail to become involved in this great effort to produce more food. After decades of low investment in agriculture, the business and public sectors are at last suddenly becoming aware that land is a prized asset. The investment and technology transfer, which cannot fail to emerge from this new awareness, will certainly represent a positive step forward, providing that the natural resources are managed in a sustainable manner. Let’s hope that the irrigation professionals use all their know-how to protect the sustainability of the land they are irrigating.

This year, it is marking its 50th anniversary, and this is a good opportunity to retrace a journey that often becomes intertwined with the history of the Toro Company. In fact, being specialised in automatic watering systems, the company Sadimato has always been one of the leading distributors of precision equipment for the maintenance and irrigation of green spaces, playing fields and golf courses.

PUMPING When setting up a pumping system, two options are possible: • set up a surface installation system, • drill a borehole for underground pumping. In both cases, you are strongly advised to install a reserve of water (tank), if there isn’t one already. On the other hand, a filtration system should be installed in order to get rid of any particles in the water or which could block the irrigation system. It could be installed after the pump or after the water tank. They will vary according to the quantity of particles to be removed from the water.

Whatever its origin, water contains suspended particles of varying sizes. In low volume localized irrigation, the size of the emission device orifice is too small to let all of these particles through. Depending on the quality of the water, the emission devices can clog quickly. Filtration is used to eliminate this problem. An appropriate filtration system or combination of filters will have to be used depending on the type and size of the particles.

Many criteria are used when choosing between centre pivot irrigation or lateral moves. The machines are very variable in size and farmers would like to be able to reap the benefits offered by this irrigation technique, even on fields where the repeated passing back and forth of the wheels can eventually become quite a problem.
