Delivering a low-cost, reliable drip irrigation filtration system for micro-irrigation in developing countries
The cylindrical filters presently used in drip irrigation systems frequently clog, increasing pressure loss and lowering the flow rate through the filters. This work investigates alternative filtration strategies that increase the reliability of, and are compatible with, existing systems. To test...
