I would appreciate thoughts about my question:
I am planning on constructing a irrigation system using water coming from a stream along our garden area. The water will be pumped to 1,000 gallons of storage up about eight feet in height. We will be using drip irrigation. The mainline supply run going along the edge of the garden is 528 feet. There is about a 10% slope going down and away from the storage tank.
I have some 3" and 2" PVC 10' joints of pipe that I was thinking about running underground initially starting at the tank. I thought I might as well use them up instead of having them lay around. I was then going to use 1" black plastic for the rest of the run.
Would it be in any way counter productive (pressure wise) to do this?
Thank you for your thoughts.
