Automatic Surge Flow and Gravitational Tank Irrigation System

This is an intermittent gravity-flow irrigation system consisting of a storage tank equipped with one or more siphons. The water in the tank flows to the field because of the siphon effect. As soon as the tank is empty, the flow stops. For the next irrigation process, the tank has to be filled-up to restart the siphon effect again. To learn more about possible siphon designs see VORTECH (2009).
