Karakteristik Bahan untuk Pipa Lateral Berpori pada Irigasi Tetes Metode Via Flow

Abstract

Trickle Irrigation System with porous pipe as a11 etnitter is introclzrced in Indonesia recently and this system still use import equipments To use it in Indonesia, it is necessary to modified the pipe by local matericrl This research tries to find a suitable material for porous lateral pipe, its mean outflow, its coefficient of uniformity and distribution oj'outflow along the pipe. The material that is used in this research is Parachute and Fatnatex cloth with 20 cm long. The research shows that the Famatex cloth with 8 ern? circwnference, gives a better perfortnance and can be used for the firrther rc.v(~cn.chU. csi des. the bigger head is used, the faster water flow and the bigger mean outflo111 fiom the material to the ground surface.
