POSSIBILITIES OF ENERGY AND ELECTRICITY CONSERVATION
Conservation of Energy in Irrigation
Present consumption of electricity in irrigation : 18,78,600 units.
1.
If
metering is done . . . . . .. . . 20% saving
After conservation
utilisation of electricity will be. . . . . 15,28,800 units.
2. If the efficiency of the pumps and pipes is
improved upon ... 20% saving
Electricity Consumption will become . . . . . . . . . 12,02,300 units.
