Advantages of the Pivot & Linear (Low Pressure) Systems Low pressure systems are energy-saving and can reduce pumping costs by 30-40%. Saves water due to less wind drift, evaporation and over-application. Uniform application conserves water, prevents leaching of nutrients, salinity buildup, water logging and runoff. Large irrigation areas with little work requirements. And can incorporate chemical application (chemigation). |
