Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) System Remediation - A Case Study

Danny H. Rogers, Freddie R. Lamm, G. A. Clark

Abstract

Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) has been installed on less than 1 percent of the irrigated field crop areas in Kansas. Although research studies indicated long dripline life is possible, some producer field have serious clogging issues. Clogging of emitters is the primary reason for microirrigation system failure. This paper reviews minimum design recommendations and a case study of remediation efforts on an existing commercial field.
