Required Size for 1 Acre Drip Irrigation Kits
Driplines: the most essential pipe for drip irrigation. Comes in unique types with varying emitter intervals; 15 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm spacing. The required length for 1 acre will depend on the number of driplines laid on each bed.
Mainline pipe: for a 1-acre farm, common main line sizes are 1½ or 2 inch. Branching off from the main line are the sub-main lines, also made of PVC or HDPE, but with a smaller diameter than the main line.
Sub-mainline: should be of smaller diameter than the main pipe. Common sizes for a 1-acre system being 1¼ inch or 1½ inch.
Gravity vs. Pump-Powered: How System Type Affects the 1-Acre Kit Price
A gravity-fed drip irrigation system works through the impact of gravity with reliance on the elevation of the water source. Your water source needs to be set up 3 m above the ground, to build pressure for manual flow of water in the system. This simple drip irrigation system requires investing in a water tank and a strong durable tank stand.
Gravity-Fed 1 Acre Drip Irrigation Kit Price
Gravity operated 1 acre drip irrigation kit price in Kenya ranges between KES 65,000 to KES 130,000. The actual cost depends on the number of driplines used per bed.
Pump-Powered Drip Irrigation System
This is a drip irrigation system using a pump to drive water from the source to the delivery driplines. The systems if the water source is a dam, river, borehole or tank and needs a robust filter. Cost of a pump operated drip irrigation system is often high as a pump cost and pressure regulator are included. To enhance efficiency when using a pump operated drip kit, choose a solar pump instead of diesel or electric types.
