Challenge

In a rugged, steeply sloping olive grove, trees in the lower parts were over-watered while those in the upper parts went without water and risked drying out.

Solution

Pressure-compensating (PC) drip pipes, which adapt to the steep and sloping terrain and deliver a constant 2.0 L/hour flow between inlet pressures of 0.8 bar and 4.0 bar, were used.

Results

All trees were watered in equal amounts regardless of slope.

Puddles and the risk of erosion on the land were prevented.

20%

A 20% improvement in uniformity and yield per tree was achieved in olive production.
