About the Practice
Problem Statement:

There are exiting sprinklers for the small plant for irrigation, but for large area and plant having height like sugarcane it faces difficult to irrigate. The spray gun can irrigate a large area in a short time. It can irrigate the soil surface soil without much wetting the soil and plant can gain the weight from the plant.

Detail:

The current situation of irrigation uses a large amount of water. For semi arid and arid condition of water availability is quite low. Drip and sprinkler irrigation is efficiently but difficult to irrigate long and dense crops by them in short duration. Chandraprabha Water Gun (Rain Gun) have the nozzle assembly have each been separately given gear connections to the transmission. Which is different from the existing sprinklers; single nozzle assemblies, which deflect the single water stream. The Chandraprabha Raingun is invented by a farmer who could not attended any school. However, he design and developed the Rain gun, which could do surface irrigation without making soil too wet, while making soil too wet, be useful for the sugarcane crops.

Practice Details

Link: It can be irrigate the land of one acre is about 90 minutes. It cost is very low cost, efficient, flexible and nozzle. Motor rating 5-15 HP depending on models, 1400 r mptor. It dimension is about 30 x 30 x 48 inch is about a socket wheel: 21.5 in. (height), about 28 socket/round. Cast iron is used for the constructions it can save more water as specific position can be locked and sprayed to intended plants. As this rain gun can sprays water at high pressure and can also washed away the pest.
