Ongoing Schemes
Title
“Development and Testing of Low cost filters” in the Network project on “Engineering Interventions in Micro Irrigation Systems (MIS) for improving water productivity” under Consortia Research Platform on Farm Mechanization and Precision Farming.
Objectives
- To develop low cost filters with optimal selection of off the shelf components as well filtering media
- To test the developed system in the field for efficacy in terms of pressure drop throughout discharge and quality of output
Funding Pattern
- Fully funded (100 %) by ICAR
Project Area – Soil and Water Conservation Engineering Workshop, AEC&RI, TNAU, Coimbatore
Details of Works – Design of low-cost filters has been done and the low cost filter model is fabricated and analysis is being carried out.
