Conference ·
OSTI ID:7089985
; ;
The findings of a study to assess the cost saving and market penetration of the energy conserving technologies are reported. The study of the potential for saving energy in irrigation covered the following field projects: low-pressure center pivot sprinklers, low-energy precision application, automated gated pipe, well development, pump redesign, computerized scheduling, and instrumented scheduling. The total quantity of energy consumed annually by irrigated agriculture and the potential for energy savings are discussed.
