Drip irrigation fitting in Kenya
Install small drip systems to a measured design.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional irrigation installation for ten twenty-metre laterals on an existing small plot: two hundred metres of dripline, one twenty-metre distribution line and ten takeoffs/end closures under a supplier-approved hydraulic design. Existing water source, pump and tank remain outside the quote. This quantity example is not proof of sufficient pressure, crop spacing or irrigation rate; designer must select actual pipe, emitter, filter and pressure-control specifications.
Who is the first customer?
Growers with suitable water access.
Test the offer
Survey pressure, water source and plot layout before quoting one small installation.
