Lower Mississippi Valley — Flowmeters on loan — Delta Plastics reminds growers that portable flowmeters are available at several locations throughout the Delta. These portable flowmeters are available free of charge. Some are available for checkout and some come with professional assistance.
“The biggest bottle neck for completing Pipe Planner plans and saving water, is having an accurate measurement of water discharge from your well,” said Matt Lindsey, Director of Irrigation Resources at Delta Plastics. Flowmeters enable growers with irrigated crop land to determine flow rates from their wells, risers and re-lifts. Flow is the first step toward completing a Pipe Planner hole design.
