4.2.1.5 - What are the water supply issues?

Return to Main Menu | Return to Step 4 | Return to Step 4.2.1 | Next Step

The water supply flow rate and timing of delivery are more sensitive for centre pivots than for border-check irrigation.


Can the water supply authority supply the required flow rate with the reliability required? For further information on this and other water supply issues, see DPI Agnote “Centre Pivots and Rural Water Authorities”

An on-site storage can provide flexibility to enable timely irrigation as required. A storage capacity providing for at least one day of pivot operation is desirable.
E.g. a pivot with a flow rate of 6 ML/d would preferably have a storage of 6 ML or more available.
