ObjectiveDevelop, test and document a prototype of an affordable gravity fed drip irrigation system.
The size of the system should be in the range of 250-1000 m^2 (or about 1/6 of a football field). The cost should be such that the system is able to pay for itself in 3 to 6 months. The system should increase the yield and quality, while allowing for savings in fertilizer, labor, etc. |
Target ConsumersGhanaians who own small farms or large gardens to grow sustenance crops such as vegetables; however, these farmers do not have previous experience with irrigation technologies.
