Farmer in Nepal knows one thing in common throughout the world: the harvest is decided by the water.
When all this is done accordingly, the respective crops will end up being healthier since the land also appears healthier because everything else will also be healthier because the land will be watered in the right manner. If the land is not watered accordingly, the results will end up being disastrous.

 

Nepal’s Agricultural Industry & the Related Problem of Water

Nepal’s agricultural pattern is also very seasonal. However, for the past ten years now, the climate is no longer predictable because of:

  1. Drought conditions
  2. Droughts
  3. Late or weak monsoons
  4. Depletion of groundwater
  5. Irregular river flow

Farming is done by either the old pipes that are prone to failure or the pipes that do not withstand the pressure. This means that the losses in the water are high.

 

Effect of Poor Irrigation on Crops Yield

Poor pipes do not just leak… they influence the pressure within the system because of:

  1. Unreliable water supply
  2. Drought in some regions & overwatering in some regions
  3. Slower root development
  4. Soil erosion
  5. Poor crop yield

Despite the farmer’s best efforts all season long, the inconsistent water supply may affect the harvest.

 

Quality Pipes & the Direct Effect on Yields & Cost

 

Leakage Reduction & Water Savings

Leaks in the pipes are also causing the loss of thousands of liters of water in the whole season. But the high-quality pipes are also eliminating the aforementioned losses.

 

Higher Flow Rate Indicates Better Coverage

Stable pressure prevents:

  1. Malfunctioning sprinklers
  2. Drip line exhibiting unfavorable performance
  3. Unequal field moisture

It directly improves the productivity of maize, wheat, rice, and vegetable crops.

 

Higher Maintenance & Replacement Cost

Certain types of low-quality pipes must be replaced each year. However, the pipes used by Dolphin are very durable. So:

  1. Less repairs
  2. Less hardware store trips
  3. Downtime in the fields was reduced

Full Range of Irrigation Pipes by Dolphin

Dolphin offers four different types of pipes based on the demand for different types of irrigation.

1. CPVC Pipes – Heat Resistant & Strong

  1. Resists higher temperature
  2. Best suited for pump outlets
  3. Operates in safe surroundings regardless of the water pressure and temperature
  4. Suitable for greenhouses & controlled irrigation

2. UPVC Pipes – Preferably Used for Cold Water & General Irrigation

  1. Lightweight & easy to handle
  2. Well-developed inner wall
  3. Cost-effective for all farmers
  4. Anti-corrosion: no rust formation, no scaling

3. Borewell Pipes – Deep Well Water Pipes

  1. Well-rounded walls
  2. Designed to support the weight of deep motors
  3. Does not bend & collapse under pressure

4. Underground Pipes – Stable for Long Distance Transport of Water

  1. High rigidity
  2. Resists reactions from soil & chemical reactions
  3. Designed for crossing agricultural fields in long-distance application

How Dolphin Pipes Help the Farmer to Improve Yield?

 

Well-Hydrated Plants = Happy Plants

Plants also require equal levels of water at all points in time. Dolphin’s pipes are very useful for maintaining the same levels of water in the waterways in regards to the following:

  1. Tomato
  2. Cauliflower
  3. Cucumber
  4. Rice
  5. Maize
  6. Citric citrons

Functioning water supply system = better root development.

 

Encourages Modern Irrigation Schemes

Dolphin pipes are fully compatible with:

  1. Drip systems
  2. Sprinkler systems
  3. Headwater irrigation
  4. Foggers in polyhouses

This becomes especially relevant in contemporary advanced farming techniques.

 

Real Life Function to Take Away

 

1. Conserves Water in Each Cycle

Farm masters who employ the best pipes reported that their wells stood longer for each season of water.

2. Saves Time & Labor

There’s no point in repairing the pipe system leaks.

3. Saves Money in the Long Run

It’s never an outlay to own a good pipe—it’s an investment.

Why Farmers in Nepal Prefer Dolphin Polyplast?

 

Factors in Nepali Climate That Influence Production

  1. Hot summer heat
  2. Frosted winter mornings
  3. Heavy monsoon soil pressure

These make Dolphin pipes very ideal for the farmland in Nepal.

 

Quality Commitment & Mission

Since 2022, the focus by Dolphin has been on providing the farmer with irrigation resources that he relies on each year.

 

National Dealer Network & Ready Availability

Starting from its origin in Biratnagar to the increasing numbers of its network of dealers, Dolphin warrants:

  1. Ease of access to pipes
  2. Fast delivery
  3. Hassle-free support

Routine for Keeping the Pipes Well

To make the irrigation pipes long-lasting:

  1. Micro-irrigation tubes must be washed every 2–3 months
  2. Remove over-pressure from pumps
  3. Keep underground pipes below ground
  4. Check joints after monsoon
  5. Clean filters for drip/sprinkler systems

Such simple maintenance procedures will extend the life of the pipes by many years.

 

Conclusion

 

But the most precious resources possessed by every farmer are not in the land but in the health of the land. Healthy land is what good irrigation protects.
By utilizing the best pipes for irrigation, the farmer shall enjoy the following:

  1. Improved water flow
  2. Higher produce
  3. Decreased stress
  4. Economical maintenance
  5. Long-term reliability
