Irrigation systems in Da Lat, Vietnam
Irrigation design for projects around Da Lat (Lam Dong Province) starts with the local water source, not the crop plan. Spring and reservoir water of good quality; the design work sits in storage sizing for the dry season and sediment filtration after monsoon runoff.
Planning ranges for Vietnam: about 4.6 L/m²/day average and 7.2 L/m²/day at peak — roughly 72 m³/day per hectare when demand peaks, which is the figure that sizes pumps, mains and buffer storage.
At a delivered water price near $0.25 /m³ and labour near $20000 per hectare per year, drain recovery, pressure-compensated drip and automated scheduling normally repay faster around Da Lat than added pump capacity.
How much irrigation water does a hectare need near Da Lat?
Plan on about 46 m³/day average and 72 m³/day at peak per hectare of protected cultivation. Size pumps, mains and storage on the peak figure, never the average. Spring and reservoir water of good quality; the design work sits in storage sizing for the dry season and sediment filtration after monsoon runoff.
All figures are indicative planning ranges for feasibility work — not quotations. Final specification and pricing come from qualified suppliers and engineers.

Spring and reservoir water of good quality; the design work sits in storage sizing for the dry season and sediment filtration after monsoon runoff.
Delivered irrigation water is commonly modelled near $0.25 /m³ in Vietnam. That price, plus fertiliser recovery, is why recirculation and drain treatment change project economics around Da Lat.
Yes. Pump station, filtration and mains are usually sized for the final area while drip zones, automation and fertigation are staged — the common approach for phased Da Lat projects.

How the process actually works
- 1Initial conversation — you describe the project in your own words, 24/7.
- 2Structured requirements — we organise what is confirmed, assumed and still missing.
- 3Project or RFQ brief — one comparable document instead of scattered emails.
- 4Human review — the SeedMatch project team reviews qualifying projects.
- 5Appropriate routing — supplier discovery or financing-pathway context, where justified.
Next step
Human-reviewed project routing and financing-pathway discussion generally start from an expected total project value of about USD 250,000. Below that, use the planning guides and calculators — they are free and no request is required.
SeedMatch structures requirements, prepares RFQs and provides supplier-discovery and financing-pathway context. We are not a manufacturer, farm operator, EPC or engineering contractor, lender or pricing authority, and buyers are never connected to suppliers automatically. Sending a request does not guarantee a supplier, price, financing, yield, permits or delivery.
