Due to the lack of irrigation infrastructure at the site, practical and efficient solutions are needed that can manage with comparatively small amounts of water and low water pressure.&#8221; We will be presenting these in practical application at the Eco Field Days. <\/p>\n<p>Visitors can find out about various irrigation systems at the Eco-Field Days.
