Sprinkler Irrigation
Sprinkler Irrigation in Kenya by Aqua Hub
Sprinkler irrigation involves distribution of water to farms, lawns and orchards under high pressure using pipes fitted with sprinklers.
Sprinkler irrigation systems needs a high pressure to be achieved for maximum force that will pump water for large outreach areas in a farm. Water pumps are therefore used for this purpose. Water flows to the pipes from the main pipes where it is distributed to the feeder pipes. From the feeder/ Submain lines it reaches the sprinklers with high pressure causing it to rotate, releasing water in rain droplets.

Types of Sprinklers and their Uses
- Metallic Sprinklers/ Rain guns
They are made of metallic materials. Metallic sprinklers are heavy and big in size. Though they are expensive, they are long lasting compared to plastic sprinklers. They operate in high pressure. They are applied in large and medium farm tracts since they have a large coverage. - Plastic Sprinklers – made of plastic UV treated polyethene material. They are used to irrigate small farms due to the low water outreach.
- Lawn/ Pop-up Sprinklers – They are used to irrigate lawns. Lawn sprinklers are normally connected to pipes fitted underground to protrude from the surface. They irrigate crops under certain degrees of rotation. They can irrigate at 90-degree, 180-degree or 360-degree rotation.
