I kēia mau makahiki i hala iho nei, ua maʻa mau ka drip irrigation, a ke hoʻolālā nei nā hui irrigation i nā huahana hou aʻe e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka pono a me ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻokomo ʻana.
ʻO ka ulu ʻana o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua, ka maloʻo, a me ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa i nā koho ʻoi aku ka hoʻomau i alakaʻi i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka wai i mea kaulana.
Ma muli o kēia, ke hana ikaika nei nā ʻoihana irrigation e hāʻawi i nā ʻaelike me nā huahana i ʻoi aku ka holomua, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni a me ka wikiwiki o ka manawa hoʻokomo.
"ʻO kēia ke ʻano ʻoi loa o ka hoʻoinu wai no ka mea e waiho pololei ana i ka wai ma kahi e pono ai," wahi a Peter Lackner, ka luna huahana o Toro. "He ʻoiaʻiʻo loa kēia no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i lalo o ka lepo, kahi e waiho pololei ai ka wai i ke kumu kumu."
Ua kapa ʻo Rick Foster, ka luna huahana nui o ka ʻoihana ʻoihana wai hoʻoheheʻe ʻāina o Rain Bird, he mea hoʻoponopono pilikia no ka mea e hoʻopau ana i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i nā kaʻa, nā wahi kaʻa, nā alahele, a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole pono ia.
“Hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia ka wai wai ma lalo o ka lepo… ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike. Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke ʻike, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hōʻino. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua ʻike ka poʻe ʻaihue i ka ehu i puka koke mai, a kiki lākou. Nā wāwae," wahi āna. "Ua hiki mai."
"I ka piʻi ʻana o ka heluna kanaka a me ka piʻi ʻana o ka noi no ka ʻoihana, ke nalowale nei mākou i ke kaomi wai," wahi a Rick Hall, ka luna hoʻokele o ka mākeke o K-Rain. “ʻO ka wai hoʻoheheʻe he ʻōnaehana hāʻawi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. ʻAʻole ia e ʻeha i nā hopena lōʻihi e like me nā ʻōnaehana overhead. "
Ua hoʻohui ʻo Hall i ka wā maloʻo, pono ka mālama ʻana i ka wai, a ua hāʻawi kekahi mau kaiāulu i ka hoʻomaha a i ʻole ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā palena wai no nā ʻōnaehana irrigation.
Ke ulu nui nei ka wai hoʻoheheʻe, ke hana nei nā ʻoihana irrigation i kahi ākea o nā huahana e hoʻokō i ka noi.
“Ma mua o ka Dripline he kahe kahe ma kahi o 0.9 gph (galani i kēlā me kēia hola) me ka pitch o 12 iniha. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mea hana i hoʻokahi wale nō a ʻelua mau kahe, "wahi a Mauricio Troche, ka hope pelekikena o ke kālepa ʻoihana no Netafim. "Me kā mākou ʻoihana mahiʻai, hoʻomaopopo mākou he nui nā kahe e pono ai e hālāwai me nā ʻano ʻāina like ʻole a mea kanu paha."
Loaʻa i nā lako o Netafim nā kahe kahe haʻahaʻa e like me ka 0.26 gph a me ke kiʻekiʻe e like me 1.16 gph, me nā pitch mai 6 iniha a 24 iniha.
Ua hoʻomaikaʻi pū ʻo Rain Bird i nā kiwi hoʻopaʻa, hoʻohui iā lākou i kēlā me kēia emitter o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe wai.
"Ma kahi wahi hoʻoheheʻe wai a i ʻole kekahi wahi irrigation, i ka wā e hoʻopau ai ʻoe i ka pōʻai wai a pani ʻia ka valve, maʻamau e kahe ka wai a pau mai kahi haʻahaʻa loa o ia wahi," wahi a Foster. "A nui ka wai i hoʻopau ʻia… No laila ʻo kekahi o nā holomua ʻē aʻe e hana nei ʻo ia ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā pahu kiko i loko o kēlā me kēia mea hoʻoheheʻe liʻiliʻi.
"No laila, ma kahi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kīwī loiloi pūnaewele nui, kaumaha, lima-nui i noho ʻia no nā makahiki he nui, ua hoʻomohala ka ʻoihana i nā kīwī liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i loaʻa i kēlā me kēia dripper kanaka," wahi āna. "ʻO ia hoʻi, ke pani ʻia ka wahi, noho ka wai a pau ma ka laina kulu."
"Ke hele ʻoe ma lalo o ka honua, pono ʻoe e pale i nā mea hana mai ke komo ʻana o ke aʻa, kahi pilikia nui," wahi a Foster.
"ʻO kekahi o nā holomua koʻikoʻi ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke keleawe i loko o ka mea hoʻoheheʻe irrigation ponoʻī. E like me kā mākou ʻike a pau, ke keʻakeʻa nei ke keleawe i ka ulu ʻana o nā aʻa, no laila ke kokoke nā aʻa i nā kiʻekiʻe o ke keleawe, e hoʻopilikia ʻia ka ulu ʻana o nā aʻa.
Ua hoʻomaka pū ʻo Hunter e komo i ka ʻoihana keleawe. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Robb Kowalewski, ka luna huahana o Hunter's valve and micro-irrigation division, e hoʻomaka ana nā paipu hoʻoheheʻe keleawe i ka hapaha mua o 2021.
Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kowalewski, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka huahana maoli i hoʻāʻo ʻia e ka hui i ka pale ʻana i ke aʻa.
"Ke manaʻo nei mākou ʻo ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kā mākou Eco-Wrap a me Eco-Mat," wahi āna. “ʻO Eco-Wrap kahi paipu kulu i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka ʻili hulu hipa. ʻOi aku kona kūpaʻa i nā aʻa ma mua o ke keleawe, a ma muli o ka hulu hipa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻoili ʻana i ka wai i ka lepo.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lackner, aia nō ʻo Toro i kāna huahana poʻokela, ʻo DL2000, e hoʻohana ana i kahi transmitter cylindrical a hiki ke kū i ka ʻōpala.
"Ua hoʻomaikaʻi mākou i kā mākou drip zone valve kit ma kahi o ʻekolu makahiki i hala. No nā mea e kahe ana, he mea nui e hoʻokomo i kahi kānana a me kahi mea hoʻoponopono kaomi i ka pipeline, "wahi āna.
"ʻO ka hoʻololi a mākou i hana ai ʻo ia ka hoʻohui ʻana i kā mākou regulator i kahi hoʻohālike e hiki ke kū i kahi ākea ākea. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi mea hoʻoponopono hoʻokele holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa ... e maʻalahi i nā mea ʻaelike e hoʻokomo. "
Eia hou, ua kūpono nā hui ʻekolu-loka o Toro no nā paipu hoʻoheheʻe wai o nā ʻano nui, e kōkua ana i nā mea ʻaelike i ka wā e hoʻoponopono ai a i ʻole nā pilikia mālama.
"Ua hoʻomohala mākou i kahi ʻāpana i hui mua ʻia a mākou i kapa ai he kit wahi mana," wahi a Foster. "ʻAʻole pono mākou e ʻimi i nā ʻāpana āpau a hōʻoia i hiki iā lākou ke hana like, akā ua hana ʻia nā hana āpau no lākou."
Ua hana ʻo Netafim i kāna mea hoʻolaha paipu unicycle a me Techlock Fittings me ka huaʻōlelo "E mālama maʻalahi".
“Pēlā ka mea hoʻolaha paipu. Kau ʻoe i kahi ʻōwili ma luna o ka huila huila. E like me Susan palaualelo, hiki iā ʻoe ke neʻe a hoʻokuʻu koke i nā paipu, "wahi a Troche.
"Ke manaʻo ʻoe e hoʻoneʻe hou i ka paipu a makemake ʻoe e hoʻololi i ka hoʻolālā, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā lako Tech Lock ma kahi o nā pono plug-in. Hoʻolālā ʻia lākou no nā wahi liʻiliʻi. "
"Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo drip irrigation he splurge a maikaʻi paha," wahi āna. "Akā i kēia lā ua lilo ia i mea maʻamau i nā ʻano he nui. Me ka piʻi ʻana o ka heluna kanaka, e liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi ka wahi irrigation, no laila ua lilo ka wai kulu i mea nui i kēia lā.
"ʻO ka pono o ka hoʻolei wai lōʻihi e kaupalena ʻia i nā kahua haʻuki, nā papa kolepa, nā paka nui a me nā wahi like."
"Ke manaʻo nei au ʻoiai e hoʻomau ʻia ana ka drip irrigation e lilo i mea kaulana, e ʻike ʻoe i nā ʻoihana hou aku e hāʻawi ana i nā ala noʻonoʻo e hoʻokomo koke iā ia," wahi āna.
"Manaʻo wau e ʻike mākou i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻoihana wai maʻalahi a hoʻohana ka poʻe i ka wai i hope e hoʻoinu i ko lākou ʻāina," wahi āna.
"E like me ka nui o nā keʻena wai a me nā moku'āina e koi ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wai i hana hou ʻia, ua kūkulu mākou i ʻelua mau koho," wahi āna. "Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi koho hoʻoheheʻe piha piha. Ma o kā mākou kānana transmitter a me ka ʻenehana hou copper oxide root intrusion, hāʻawi mākou i kēia manawa i kahi mana loiloi loiloi recycled no nā papahana me nā loli kiʻekiʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Kowalewski, ʻo ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka nānā ʻana i ke kaiapuni e alakaʻi i nā mea kālai ʻāina ʻē aʻe e hoʻopili ana i ka wai kulu.
"Ke manaʻo nei au e hoʻomau ka ulu ʻana o ka irrigation drip i ka wikiwiki ma mua o ka hoʻoulu ʻana i luna," wahi āna. "Manaʻo wau e loli paha ke ʻano o ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka poʻe ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa…
Akā me ka nui o nā koho, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kowalewski he mea paʻakikī paha i ka poʻe ʻaelike ke ʻike pololei i ka mea e koho ai.
"Manaʻo wau he nui nā (huahana) e huikau, no laila ke manaʻo nei au e hoʻohui paha ka hui i nā huahana," wahi āna.
"I kekahi manawa, hiki i nā hana hou maʻalahi e like me nā ʻōnaehana i hui mua ʻia ke kōkua nui i nā mea kūʻai aku," wahi āna.
"Manaʻo wau he mea nui loa kēia, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka mākeke hana paʻa a me COVID-19. Makemake ka poʻe ʻaelike e hana pū me nā hui liʻiliʻi a komo koke i waho o ka pūnaewele.
Hoʻomaka hou a hoʻomaikaʻi i kāu hoʻolālā olakino a palekana me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo mai nā alakaʻi ʻoihana me ka noʻonoʻo mua palekana.
E kiʻi iā ia. E ʻokiʻoki ana kekahi ohua i ka lihi o ka mauʻu ma nā kula, e hele ana i ke kihi ʻoiai e hana ana. Me ka pale pepeiao, ua nānā ʻo ia i ka laina hoʻopau—ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i ke keiki liʻiliʻi e holo hihiu ana ma ke ala ala. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hakakā ka mea ʻoki i ke aʻa, a i ka wā i hala aku ai ke keiki ma o ia, ua nalowale ka mana o nā lako. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka pahi i ka wāwae o ke keiki, a ʻaʻole koke, kaʻa maila kahi kaʻa kaʻa.
ʻO kēia wale nō kekahi o nā hihia i hui pū ʻia e ka hui mālama ʻāina pili i Erie, Pennsylvania me nā limahana i ka wā o ka tailgate palekana i kēlā me kēia pule. ʻO ka pelekikena o Crystal Arlington a me kāna kāne ʻo Rich (ka luna ʻoihana o ka hui) holo pū kekahi i kahi hui hōʻike loea. "Ke hele mai nei mākou i kahi noi hihia, e noʻonoʻo ai ka poʻe," wahi a Crystal Arlington.
ʻAʻole i nānā ke poʻo o ka hui e hana ana i ka mower mauu i nā kiʻi palekana. Ua lele kekahi pōhaku i ka puka aniani o ka mea kūʻai.
"ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa aʻu i hana ai, ʻo ia ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i nā mea hōʻike loea ma ke ʻano he limahana," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Arlington, me ka hoʻohui ʻana he nui nā limahana ʻē aʻe i loaʻa kēia palapala a like me ka palekana.
ʻO ke kamaʻilio palekana e pili ana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa. I loko o nā makahiki, ua hoʻokumu ka hui mālama ʻāina pili i kahi ʻano o nā protocols e alakaʻi i nā mea āpau mai ka hana ʻana i ka mower lawn a hiki i ka holoi lole i haumia ʻia e nā pesticides. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Don Mahoney, ʻo ka ʻaelike palekana o Mahoney Associates ma Southampton, New York "mai kahi kula koʻikoʻi," akā i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana a ulu aʻe, ua hilinaʻi ia i nā kumuwaiwai ʻoihana a me nā ʻoihana hoa e lawe i nā kaʻina hana a me nā ʻaelike.
"I ka hoʻomaka, ʻaneʻane hoʻokomo ʻia ka palekana i nā earmuffs," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, e hoʻohālikelike ana i ke ʻano kumu me ka moʻomeheu palekana o kēia lā. Ua loaʻa i kēlā me kēia lālā hui hou ka pale pepeiao a me ka maka, a me ka ʻaʻahu kiʻekiʻe ʻike kiʻekiʻe.
"He nui nā kumuwaiwai ma laila," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Mahoney, e kaʻana like ana i ka lilo ʻana o kāna hui i ka National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) Stars Safe. “ʻO kahi o kaʻu ala punahele e aʻo ai e pili ana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa palekana a me nā kulekele ʻo ia kaʻu i kapa ai ʻo 'R&D' a i ʻole ka hao ʻana a me ke kope ʻana. Inā ʻoe i loko o ka pūnaewele a i ʻole he hui maikaʻi o nā hoa, ua noʻonoʻo lākou i nā manual a me nā kaʻina hana E hui pū, maʻamau lākou e makemake e kaʻana like me ʻoe.
"No nā kumu he nui, he mea nui ka palekana," hoʻomau ʻo Mahoney. “Hoʻokaʻawale ia iā ʻoe mai ka pūʻolo. Ke kūʻai mākou i ka 'inikua a hoʻomākaukau paha no ka hana hou, inā hiki iā mākou ke hele i ka mea hoʻolako a hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi mea hoʻopaʻa e hōʻike ana i kāu hoʻomaʻamaʻa palekana a me nā mea hana i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, e hōʻike ana ua kūpaʻa ʻoe i ka palekana. .”
Hoʻopaʻa inoa nā lālā o ka hui i kēlā me kēia hālāwai hoʻomaʻamaʻa i loaʻa kahi moʻolelo holo e nānā i ka hele ʻana a hoʻoikaika i ke kuleana.
ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo ua ʻike kekahi i ka palekana. "ʻO ka ʻike o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hana āpau ʻaʻole ia he mea pono lākou e hana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ala nui a i ʻole ke alanui nui," wahi a Chris Testa, ka luna nui o United Right-of-Way ma Phoenix, Arizona. Ke lawelawe nei kāna hui i ka Department of Transportation (DOT) a me nā kaona, kahi i pilikia maoli ai ka halihali.
E like me kā Testa i ʻōlelo ai, no ka mea e hōʻike ana kahi limahana hou me kahi hoʻomaka i hoʻonani ʻia ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo hiki iā ʻoe ke kāpae i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa palekana. Loaʻa i nā ʻoihana like ʻole nā ʻano hoʻomaʻamaʻa like ʻole.
