What is BS EN 15097 - Hydraulic evaluation in localised irrigation about?
BS EN 15097 is a standard covering hydraulic evaluation in localised irrigation, enabling a longer life cycle, lower maintenance and increased crop yields.
BS EN 15097 describes a localised irrigation hydraulic system and specifies a method to determine the uniformity in water distribution for each installation to be evaluated in the field.
BS EN 15097 specifies applies to localised irrigation systems. BS EN 15097 defines the methodology to be applied in the farm localised irrigation system evaluation.
Note: BS EN 15097 does not cover management practices.
Who is BS EN 15097 - Hydraulic evaluation in localised irrigation for?
BS EN 15097 on hydraulic evaluation in localised irrigation applies to:
- Irrigation supply departments
- Irrigation engineers
- Irrigation consultants
- Irrigation equipment manufacturers
- Suppliers of irrigation equipment
- Testing houses for irrigation equipment
- Irrigation audit services
Why should you use BS EN 15097 - Hydraulic evaluation in localized irrigation?
A localized irrigation system is an irrigation technology that allows water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either on the soil surface or directly on the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, and emitters, saving water and fertilizer.
BS EN 15097 provides users guidance on a method to determine the uniformity in water distribution for each installation in the field. BS EN 15097 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the method correctly.
BS EN 15097 provides users guidance on terms and definitions, basic data for evaluation, data to be collected for the evaluation, test procedure, equipment needed, blank data forms, enabling the prevention of water wastage and cost-effectiveness in irrigation applications.
With obedience and compliance of BS EN 15097, users can assess the implementation of a localised irrigation hydraulic system, ensuring uniform water distribution for increased efficiency and performance in irrigation applications for increased crop yields.
