Selection Criteria Of Pump 

Pump selection is crucial to ensuring that the farmer’s irrigation design layout meets the precise requirements for the crop and optimizes irrigation efficiency. These requirements are satisfied if the pump matches the irrigation system, flow pressure is kept low, and controls are 

Choosing the Right Irrigation Equipment 

A varied range of equipment affects your product in varying ways since quite some factors come into play - they require different amounts of water and water pressure, depending upon their use and build. Thus, choosing your equipment before selecting your water pump is an essential and precautionary step. Choosing the correct irrigation equipment requires you to consider the controller since it plays an important role in switching the water supply on and off, at specified time intervals, and during specific climatic conditions.

Consider the water source 

Water for irrigation purposes is generally directed from sources such as tube wells, wells, springs or bore wells, surface water from lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and other non-conventional sources of water like drainage water, desalinated water, wastewater, and all the different kinds. Insight on the source helps you decide which pump to go for.

Know the Pressure Rate and Flow Requirements

A pump with incompatible or wrong water flow and pressure requirements can lead to drastic pump damage and costly repairs. For any type of pump system, the pump flow rate and pressure are crucial to maintaining your pump's longevity. 

Finding Distance From Source Of Water 

The location of the source from where the water would be directed is an important thing to consider while determining the type of pump. Go for Turbine pumps and deep-well submersible pumps when drawing water from deep depths like bore wells and such. In the case of surface water, the options are more. Using submersible pumps with groundwater is advantageous since these pumps are not visible and mostly eliminate the chances of robbery and unwanted noises.

Finding the Right Pump Size 

These are some of the factors that come to play while looking for the correct pump size

Whether the pump size is suitable for Motor protection.

Whether its number of layers are causing unwanted power consumption

Its system pressure and whether it provides you with variable options for speed control.

Calculate Efficiency 

Calculating the efficiency of pump and motor: 

Efficiency % = Q x H / 3.67 X P1 

Where Q = flow in m3/h 

H = head (pressure from the pump) 

P1 = the kW required

System Integration 

All the above-mentioned factors are crucial in selecting the correct pump for your needs. By ensuring that the water pressure is not higher than required and by using proper control, you can minimize your energy consumption and cost. The right water pump will increase not just the total revenue but even ensure better water management for the fertile production of crops.
