Irrigation design inputs

Does the project need water storage?

Direct answer

Storage is needed when the source cannot deliver the peak flow continuously, when abstraction is restricted by hours or quota, when supply reliability is uncertain, or when water needs settling, blending or temperature buffering before use. Storage volume is normally expressed in days of peak demand.

Where this sits in fertigation equipment procurement

Fertigation equipment covers injection (venturi, dosing pump or dosing unit), stock tanks, EC/pH control and the dosing channels needed for the crop recipe — the channel count and injection accuracy required drive most of the cost difference between offers.

Typical procurement searches this answers: fertigation equipment · fertigation system for greenhouse · dosing unit vs venturi injector · EC pH control fertigation · greenhouse cooling system · pad and fan vs fogging

Inputs that change the answer

  • Source yield and permitted abstraction hours
  • Peak daily demand
  • Reliability risk and buffer days
  • Treatment or blending requirement

What this answer does not settle

Reservoir and tank design, lining and safety are civil-engineering scope.
