-
Maintenance and repairs - an efficient irrigation system requires regular maintenance and repairs. The training includes learning how to check the system for leaks, blockages and other problems and how to repair damage.
As can be seen, education in the performance of irrigation systems is very important to ensure efficient irrigation, save water and reduce maintenance costs.
