Water challenges in agriculture: Gabriel Gajardo analyzes the high concentration of suspended particles and their impacts on irrigation

In a video, Gabriel Gajardo, partner and commercial director of the company AG Business, explains the problem of the high concentration of suspended particles observed in the water used to irrigate fields, due to prolonged thawing and cleaning of repair works. 

The problem is that this fine suspended material can saturate the filters, clog the drippers and cause the pressure to decrease and the volume of water required for irrigation to drop. 

What is advised in these cases?

Configure the equipment so that the backwash program operates on the pressure differential function (before and after the filter), instead of programming the time function. This will avoid clogged drippers and prevent saturation of the entire system.
