Axial flow pumps can reduce energy use and costs for low-lift surface water irrigation in Bangladesh
(CIMMYT, 2014)
With conventional centrifugal pumps (CEN), less than 50% of southern Bangladesh’s farmers invest in dry season irrigation, partly due to high and continually increasing diesel energy costs. Diesel pump efficiencies in ...
