As for trickle irrigation, the cost of these systems is highly variable and depends on the selected system type. A simple rain-gun would cost around Rs 30 000 and can used to irrigate over 25 acres under a rotational system. Center pivot are meant for very large farms and may cost Rs 5 million for a moderate sized system to irrigate 20 ha of cooped area in one go. Pop-up systems used for irrigating lawns are relatively cheaper and cost about Rs 50 000 per ha. As the system operates under high heads the pumping costs are high.
Nice blog. I want ti know whether the sprinkler irrigation is best in terms of money and benefits that it holds. Its quite costly to implement but if the benefits are also high then it can be implemented. Irrigation Systems
