At this time, in the coastal area of ​​Quynh Luu district (Nghe An), most of the land area is used for production by people growing and caring for green onions and a few other types of green vegetables. For green onions and vegetables to grow well in this hot weather, from early morning, people have to water regularly with a sprinkler system, creating white "water flower" gardens on the green vegetable carpet, very eye-catching.

Mr. Ho Dien An in Hamlet 7, Quynh Minh Commune said that due to the nature of the land here being sandy, it drains quickly, so in the hot summer, it is necessary to water regularly, every 2-3 hours, each time for 4-7 minutes. Water in the form of raindrops is sprayed evenly into the surrounding environment to help the soil have enough moisture and become more porous. Photo: Xuan Hoang

According to the people, to have this sprinkler irrigation system, with 1 sao of land, an investment of about 12 million VND, including digging a well, buying a pump and a water pipe system. When watering, just plug the pump into the power outlet and the whole system will operate continuously, without having to work as hard as before, holding the hose to water all day. Photo: Xuan Hoang

With just simple operations such as turning on the pump and opening the water valve, the entire vegetable garden is fully supplied with water. Therefore, women can also operate it easily. Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan said that her husband goes to work, while her wife goes to the field every day to plug in the electricity to water the vegetables. Photo: Xuan Hoang

The most obvious advantage of the sprinkler irrigation system is that it saves water for users. Water in the form of raindrops is sprayed evenly into the surrounding environment, saving 50-60% of water. Vegetable growers here also said that this system rarely breaks down, and one investment can be used continuously for many years. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Onion plots are being prepared for a new crop. A sprinkler system is installed in the middle of the rows so that the entire field can be watered evenly. According to calculations, after a two-month crop of onions, it will cost about VND100,000 in electricity. The coastal area of ​​Quynh Luu district currently has about 700 hectares of intensive vegetable cultivation. According to data from the district's Department of Agriculture, to save water and reduce the difficulty of watering vegetables, people have invested in installing sprinkler systems for about 90% of the area.
