The constant irrigation of large agricultural areas is of immense importance for feeding the world’s population. One of mankind’s oldest technical applications are the irrigation of fields for agriculture. This allowed the first advanced civilisations to flourish along the Nile, Euphrates and Tigris and is still today a decisive factor in feeding the growing world population. Of great importance here is that the valuable commodity water is used economically, but also that sufficient irrigation takes place for plant growth. Equally important is the transportation of the water to the irrigation...
