AWD PIPE
What it is
The AWD pipe, or pani pipe, is a vital tool for implementing the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation method in rice farming. This innovative technique helps conserve water by alternating between flooding and drying the fields, significantly reducing water usage by up to 30% without compromising crop yields.
​
Typically made from PVC or bamboo, the AWD pipe is about 30 cm long with a diameter of 10-15 cm. It features perforations that allow farmers to monitor the water level in the soil. When the water level drops to approximately 15 cm below the surface, it signals the need for re-irrigation to maintain optimal moisture levels.
​
Abhirup Technologies Pvt Ltd specializes in manufacturing and supplying these AWD pipes across India, promoting sustainable agricultural practices. By utilizing AWD pipes, farmers can enhance irrigation efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability while ensuring healthy rice production.
Benefits of using AWD Pipe
Using an AWD pipe in rice farming offers numerous benefits that enhance sustainability and productivity.
-
Water Conservation: AWD pipes enable farmers to save up to 30% of irrigation water by alternating between flooding and drying the fields, ensuring efficient water use.
-
Increased Yield: This method can improve crop yields by promoting stronger root growth and better grain filling, often resulting in higher productivity compared to continuous flooding.
-
Cost Reduction: Farmers experience lower irrigation costs due to reduced water usage and decreased fuel consumption for pumping.
-
Environmental Benefits: AWD significantly reduces methane emissions, contributing to a more eco-friendly farming practice.
-
Improved Soil Health: By allowing periodic aeration, AWD enhances soil conditions, which supports better nutrient availability and overall soil health.
AWD PIPE & CARBON CREDITS
We have developed more than 5,00,000 AWD Pipes for carbon credit companies in India.
​
AWD (Alternate Wetting and Drying) is a water management technique in rice cultivation that can generate carbon credits. By implementing AWD, farmers can reduce methane emissions and water usage, leading to the creation of carbon credits that can be sold.
​
How AWD Generates Carbon Credits:
-
Reduced Methane Emissions: AWD lowers methane emissions from rice paddies. Rice paddies contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, and AWD helps mitigate this impact.
-
Carbon Credit Generation: The reduction in methane emissions translates into carbon credits, which can be sold on carbon markets.
-
Income for Farmers: Carbon credits provide an additional income stream for farmers who adopt AWD practices.
