WHAT IS IRRIGATION?
Application of water to soil by providing it
to crop filled land.
To assist in crop production.
Sustain plant life.
Protecting crops from frost.
FLOOD IRRIGATION
Half of the water applied to the field actually
irrigates the crops and the other half is lost
through evaporation, runoff, transpiration,
weeds, and infiltration of uncultivated areas.
The efficiency of flood irrigation is not very
high.
Important concerns :
Distribution uniformity.
Field flooding
Environmental impact of crops.
FLOOD IRRIGATION
Furrow Irrigation
Water is directed or
pumped into a
number of furrows,
which are then
flooded.
Gravity flow channel.
Requires lot of water.
Common irrigation
techniques in tropical
area.
Artificial Rain
Uniform application.
Two common types:
Fixed sprinkler
Travelling
sprinkler
DRIP IRRIGATION
IRRIGATION PUMP
CRUCIAL CRITERIA
Availability of water
Type of water
Volume of water
Source of Water
Common preception of water - Water
was an infinite resource.
Water resources need to be
managed.
Surface water drawn from rivers,
canals, lake or reservoir.
Different source of water different
type of pumps been used.
SOURCE OF WATER
Water availability on earth:
3% is fresh or 1% available for use
70% is held in the ice caps
30% is available as groundwater of
from lakes and streams.
GROUNDWATER
PROS:
Most reliable water source on earth
Correct management is vital
Groundwater measurement are fairly complicated,
because its flow is hidden.
CONS:
Supply limitations
Pump wear
Clogging
Over pumping
SURFACE WATER
2nd most common source of fresh
water.
The most common source in
Malaysias Irrigation activity.
Correct pump levelling / water
storage.
Enemy of pumps for surface water:
Mud, silt, organism growth, woods, sand.
RAINWATER
Water source for raining season.
Pumping schedule will stop at this
time.

PD VS CENTRIFUGAL
Flow rate versus
pressure
By looking at the
performance chart, the
centrifugal has varying
flow depending on
pressure or head,
whereas the PD pump
has more or less
constant flow
regardless of pressure.
PD VS CENTRIFUGAL
PD VS CENTRIFUGAL
Flow rate versus
viscosity
The centrifugal pump
loses flow as the
viscosity goes up but the
PD pumps flow actually
increases. This is
because the higher
viscosity liquids fill the
clearances of the pump
causing a higher
volumetric efficiency.
PD VS CENTRIFUGAL
Efficiency vs Viscosity
Viscosity also plays an
important role in
mechanical efficiency.
Because the centrifugal
pump operates at
motor spefficiency goes
down as viscosity
increases due to
increased frictional
losses within the pump.

distribution
Entrained air
Minor air
entrainment will lead
to a clear reduction
in pump
performance and
loss of efficiency; the
severity depends
upon the quantity of
air entrained and the
pump type.
Vortices
Unlike excessive pre-swirl, vortices
appear locally with higher intensity and
are a major hindrance to proper pump
operation, resulting in cavitation,
uneven load, noise and vibration. There
are several different types of vortices.
The most commonly known type is the
free surface vortex, which can have
varying degrees of intensity from weak
surface vortices to fully developed
vortices with a continuous air core that
extends from the surface into the pump.
Less well known, but just as common is
the vortex that originates under the
surface from the sump bottom, walls or
between two pumps, and extends to the
pump inlet. This type of vortex can
achieve high rotational speeds with high
subpressures and cavitations.
