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

Abstract

Trickle Irrigation System with porous pipe as an emitter is introduced in Indonesia recently and this system still use import equip11lents To use it in Indonesia, it is necessary to modified the pipe by local material This research tries to find a suitable material for porous lateral pipe, its mean outflow, its coefficient of uniformity and distribution of outflow along the pipe. The material that is used in this research is Parachute and Famatex cloth with 20 em long. The research shows that the Famatex cloth with 8 cm circlIl1!ference, gives a better performance and can be usedfor the further research. Besides. the bigger head is lIsed, the faster water flow and the bigger mean outflow from the material to the ground surface.
