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.
