- Headworks on canal water. Hydrocyclones and backflush filters ahead of drip. See Irrigation Filtration Systems.
- Valve automation. Controllers and solenoid valves for large vineyard blocks. See Irrigation Automation.
- Vineyard drip. New drip for replanted blocks. See Vineyard Irrigation.
- Servicing. Filter, valve and pressure checks before summer. See Farm Irrigation Maintenance.
Local Factors Worth Checking
- Silt and weed. Canal and river water often carry sand and plant material that block drippers without good filtration.
- Water timing. Where water arrives on a set roster, a storage dam lets the farm irrigate on its own timing.
- Large flat blocks. Bigger, even blocks suit automated valve groups run from one controller.
- Summer heat. Peak demand in the hottest weeks sets filter and pipe sizes.

Agricultural Irrigation Robertson FAQs
Do I need a hydrocyclone on canal water?
If the water carries sand, a hydrocyclone ahead of the main filter removes much of it. A specialist decides after seeing a water sample or your current filter.
Can I control valves from my phone?
Yes, remote GSM or app controllers can open valves and start pumps. Check cell signal at the pump and valve positions first.
Can a storage dam help when canal water is not always available?
It lets you fill when water is available and irrigate when the crop needs it. A designer can size it to your blocks.
