HELVETAS Kyrgyzstan: SEP Project - Drip irrigation

Drip irrigation component
SEP Project started a component "Market testing of profitability of drip irrigation systems (DIS) sale at all levels (of participants) of the value chain and efficiency of using drip irrigation technology at the farm level are assessed" in Kyrgyzstan in 2010.

The component is supported by iDE (International Development Enterprises) with funds from SDC global water project "Scaling up of Productive Water Use". Demand by farmers for the drip irrigation systems imported from India and China is being tested on local market under the drip irrigation component of SEP project.

Drip irrigation is one of the most progressive and efficient methods of irrigation. Water is delivered to the plants through pipes and individual drippers which allow irrigating plants directly to their root zone with minimal losses by evaporation and percolation. Application of drip irrigation technology allows up to 50% water saving compared to other irrigation methods.
