The Waggon Wheel system. Drawing: RELMA.
The Waggon Wheel system was developed in South Africa by Dr Gerrie Albertse in 1995. It has been used to grow vegetables and grapes in the very harsh conditions of arid South Africa. The Waggon Wheel irrigation system uses a circular arrangement of 6 drip lines radiating out from the central reservoir drum (210 litres) — hence the name Waggon Wheel. The length of each drip line is 6 m.
