2017 Turbo Mist Pond And Field Sprinkler Systems
Cost per gallon will depend upon available land and ponds may be inexpensive or very expensive, depending upon the current value of the land used.
Features may include:
Disadvantages of pond sprinkler systems:- Pond sprinkler system designed to evaporate water contained within a pond has proven to have a very low efficiency of 4%, that is, for the volume of water pumped; only 4% evaporates. Because of this, you need to keep expanding ponds as production grows.
- High onsite maintenance due to plugging in waste that is prone to scaling.
Disadvantages of Field Sprinkler systems:- Waste spread over land with high potential of leaching into the ground water.
- High potential risk of leaching waste into the water table resulting in potential for liability.
- High cost of land as this system requires considerable acreage to eliminate large volumes.
- High maintenance of system and resulting crop.
- Irrigation may create odor issues for neighbors.
