How do sediment basins or traps function in an irrigation system?
Sediment basins and traps in irrigation systems are used to control sediment by:
Silt Capturing: They allow silt to sink to the bottom and discharge clean water by reducing the pace of water flow.
Preventing obstacles: By collecting silt, they reduce the likelihood of clogging and blockages in channels, gates, and other structures.
Longer Equipment Life: Pumps and valves are subjected to less strain when there is less silt load.
Improving Water Quality: They help to maintain water quality by reducing turbidity and pollution levels.
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure that these basins continue to function effectively, including clearing out collected debris.
