Regarding the improvements, the drippers have become more and more resistant to clogging, with a greater range of flow rates available; the pivots’ flow rate and angle of distribution are adapted to the actual wind speed; the nozzles have been designed to reduce water consumption and the latest con­trollers bring a whole host of possi­bilities.

 

However, the most exciting innovation is the remote control achieved by using the “Blue Tooth” or “Wi-Fi” techni­ques, which allows for a connection to be made via smartphone, tablet or a computer with internet access.

We will soon be able to enjoy a “smart garden” and arrive at our « interconnected » house where a robot will be waiting to bring us our slippers while the car will park itself in the garage. In the meantime, everyone here at Irrigazette wishes you a truly excellent year 2017.
