Irrigation system |
摘要 |
A method of operating a drip irrigation system is provided and includes providing drip irrigation lines aside a diverter line with T-junctions interleaved between adjacent ones of the drip irrigation lines and each T-junction including a three-way line coupled to the diverter line, a check valve operably disposable between the three-way line and a downstream end of an upstream one of the drip irrigation lines to permit fluid flow in only a forward direction and a controllable valve operably disposable between the three-way line and an upstream end of a downstream one of the drip irrigation lines. |

1. An irrigation system including a diverter line, the system comprising:
drip irrigation lines; T-junctions interleaved between adjacent drip irrigation lines, each T-junction comprising: a three-way line coupled to the diverter line; a check valve operably disposable between the three-way line and a downstream end of an upstream one of the drip irrigation lines to permit fluid flow in only a forward direction from the downstream end of the upstream one of the drip irrigation lines to each leg of the three-way line; and a controllable valve operably disposable between the three-way line and an upstream end of a downstream one of the drip irrigation lines, the controllable valve being operable to permit fluid flow in only the forward direction from each leg of the three-way line to an upstream end of a downstream one of the drip irrigation lines and to prevent the fluid flow. |
