Fact sheet 1: Introducing Siphonless Systems introduces the key concepts, benefits, and limitations of siphonless systems to help growers assess whether conversion is right for their operation. It then outlines critical steps for the successful development of siphonless systems.
Fact sheet 2: Types of Siphonless Systems describes and characterises the main siphonless system types to clarify terminology and help growers understand how each system works, where it is most suitable, and its key advantages and disadvantages. There is no ‘superior’ system, the right system depends on your specific slope, soils, available flow, and operational priorities.
For planning and design guidance once a system type has been identified, see Factsheet 3: Siphonless System Planning and Design Considerations.
See the Case Study on Getting the most from your Siphonless System for worked example of design impact.
