  • ON the ENGLISH VOCABULARY of IRRIGATION Georgeta RAŢĂ, Maria-Adriana PROCA Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat
    ON THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY OF IRRIGATION Georgeta RAŢĂ, Maria-Adriana PROCA Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat, Timişoara, România Words of different origin abound in present-day English speech and writing, including the vocabulary of irrigation. English has taken over a great number of words from other languages, which have nevertheless become somehow a permanent part of it. Most of them have been modified and brought into line with the phonological rules of English, helping native English-speaking people better understand and use them. Some others, though plain English words, are confusing even to specialists: they are terms belonging to different technical fields and gathered in encyclopaedias such as Wikipedia (www.en.wikipedia.org). We inventory some of the terms belonging to the field of irrigation pointing out the trends in this specialised vocabulary. We have inventoried a number of 63 entries (with 64 meanings) belonging to the field of irrigation, designating 21 types of devices (32%): atmospheric vacuum breaker ‘a backflow prevention device used in plumbing to prevent backflow of non- potable liquids into the potable (drinking water) system’, backflow prevention device ‘a device used to protect water supplies from contamination’, chemigation valve ‘an apparatus designed to protect water supplies from agricultural chemicals used during chemigation’, disk filter ‘a type of water filter’, double check valve ‘a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination’, drip tape ‘a type of

  • Backflow Prevention Policy
    Ashburton Lyndhurst Backflow Prevention Policy Adopted: 8 December 2017 Review: Every three years or as required Consultation: Internal Consultation with Staff, External Consultation with Irrigation supply companies, Environment Canterbury and Irrigation NZ Related Documents: Irrigation NZ: New Zealand Guideline for the Safe Management of Irrigation Systems with Effluent, Fertiliser and/or Agrichemical Injection Environment Canterbury: Chemigation Valve Test Sheet This policy explains the required safety devices and systems to be used when injecting effluent, fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides and other agrichemicals (“agrichemicals”) into an on-farm irrigation system connected to the Ashburton Lyndhurst Irrigation Ltd. (“ALIL”) Pressurised Scheme. The specific hazard being guarded against is effluent, fertiliser or other agrichemicals being drawn into the water supply. ALIL Property off takes (POTs) are not fitted with anything that would stop water flowing backwards from the farm into the ALIL system. Normally, the higher pressure from the ALIL system prevents water flowing into the ALIL system, however if the ALIL pipe is drained for any reason or if there are pressure fluctuations in the system this can mean that reverse flow occurs. It is extremely important that water contaminated with effluent, fertiliser or other agrichemicals does not enter the ALIL system. ALIL’s backflow prevention policy is based on Irrigation New Zealand’s document “New Zealand Guideline for the Safe Management of Irrigation Systems with Effluent, Fertiliser and/or Agrichemical Injection”, (a copy of which may be obtained by visiting the INZ website at https://www.irrigationnz.co.nz/Attachment?Action=Download&Attachment_id=129, or by requesting one from the Ashburton Lyndhurst office.) The major requirements for agrichemical injection systems as discussed in this document are outlined below.

  • Grower Training Manual for Backflow Prevention in Chemigation of Pesticides Revised 3/3/04
    Grower Training Manual for Backflow Prevention in Chemigation of Pesticides Revised 3/3/04 By The Center for Irrigation Technology California Agricultural Technology Institute California State University, Fresno David F. Zoldoske, Director Tim Jacobsen, Education Specialist Edward M. Norum, Agricultural Engineer For Environmental Monitoring Branch Department of Pesticide Regulation California EPA March 2004 DPR Grower Training Manual for Backflow Prevention Table of Contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………….3 Pesticide Label Requirements for Chemigation………………………………......3 Alternatives Devices that also Comply with the Label ….……………………….7 Maintenance, Calibration, and Safety…………………………………………….11 Appendix………………………………………………………………………….13 2 Introduction The purpose of this manual is to familiarize those involved with injecting pesticides into irrigation systems with the equipment requirements mandated by the federal government and stated on the pesticide label. The manual will cover the legal requirements as well as discuss practical ways to satisfy the requirements. Chemigation, or the addition of chemicals to irrigation water, has probably been around for as long as both irrigation and chemicals have been used in agriculture. Chemigation became more widely used in the 1970’s with the adoption of center pivot irrigation systems in the Midwest. The federal government began regulating chemigation in 1988 when the EPA adopted a label improvement program for labeled agricultural pesticides. That program requires labels that permit chemigation to contain specific language describing equipment the application system must contain to prevent backflow into the water supply. Backflow prevention is necessary to prevent pesticide contamination of surface water supplies as well as ground water. Since 1988, the EPA has approved additional alternative backflow prevention equipment and many states have instituted guidelines to help growers come into compliance with the federal requirements.
