Measured irrigation maybe the most significant development in water efficient irrigation since modern drip irrigation. Measured irrigation allows you to decide how much water will be delivered to each plant in your garden during the irrigation event regardless of the number of plants and the number of irrigation sectors. Hence you know in advance the total water requirement during the irrigation event for your garden, orchard or crop. Furthermore, water usage responds automatically to the prevailing weather conditions. For each month the water delivered to each plant is proportional to the evaporation rate minus the precipitation rate. Measured irrigation does not require access to mains water or mains power. All that is required is rainwater and sunlight, and so there are no ongoing costs for water and electricity. A 20 watt solar panel and an above ground water tank can deliver up to 450 litres per hour to the flow splitter.
