Pump efficiency is paramount in driving sustainable water use in your vineyard. Overall pump efficiency (OPE) is a reliable predictor of critical in-season pump failures. OPE includes the energy cost to move water, revealing benefits from informed utility AG rate selection and site pumping practices. OPE awareness enables efficient sustainability dollars targeting underperforming pump sites. There are basic pump efficiency money-saving practices that should be employed before spending any money on technology!

Irrigation security is more than preventing late season pump failures. By establishing base measurements of pump and irrigation efficiency; vulnerabilities are identified and planned for with much better utilization of infrastructure spending. Irrigation security serving stakeholders across an organization.
