Innotag presents two solutions for managing your underground draining system effectively:
In wet areas, the water management is not an easy task. In spring, one often finds oneself with a overflow of water. Abundant precipitations and the melting snow are responsible for this situation. Moreover, it was shown that 3 years out of 5 are crossed by one period of dryness which often corresponds to the critical period of growth.

It was shown that in certain cases, certain underground draining system quickly drains the root zone to make it impossible for the plants to adequately cross this dryness periode. Two water management techniques can cure this problem: the draining control system SCD and the underground irrigation system OASIS.
These techniques have like common objective to manage subsoil
waters via the network of underground draining.
The draining control is a technique which consists in slowing down the
speed of lowering of the water table by controlling the volume of water
evacuated by the system.
By prolonging the presence of the water in the ground (figure 2), the provisioning of the plants is done over a longer period thus increasing the output of the cultures. In Quebec, more than 3200 units are already installed and the output increased by 10 to 40% in several types of cultures of which those of corn, soy, potato and the market-gardening productions.

EFFECTS OF DRAINING OF THE GROUND WATER
DRAINING CONTROL SYSTEM SCD
The SCD is the basic tool in regards for the ground
water management. Connecting to your draining network it allows, initially,
united with the OASIS system, it makes
it possible to practice the underground irrigation.
After that, following a period of heat wave, the evaporated
rate raised combined with the absence of precipitations, causes a lowering
of the water table. When the water table level is under the one of the
fleet, the rubber reduction remains in position closed in order to maintain
water in the network.
In draining control, , the underground precipitations
and the underground tunnels are the only modes of provision which can
contribute to refill the water table. The SCD adapts to the collectors,
from 100 mm (4 in) to 250 mm (10 in) diameter, to your network of underground
draining to improve profitability of it:
- by increasing the outputs
- by reducing the scrubbing of fertilizers
- by preserving the water precipitations and irrigation
- by reducing the excessive draining
IRRIGATION SYSTEM OASIS™
INNOTAG Inc developed the system of underground
irrigation OASIS, an effective management water tool which enables you
to satisfy your requirements in irrigation and draining. The system is
automatic, easy to use and functions as follows:
IRRIGATION MODE
Not enough water? In period of growth, the weak precipitations
combined with a high evaporation rate causes a lowering of the water table.
The underground irrigation system OASISMC of Innotag comes "water
help" for your plants by reloading the ground water in order to maintain
a level favourable for their development. When the level sensor of tablecloth
measures a level lower than that wished, the fleet urges the mechanism
of control in irrigation mode in order to feed the plants.
STABILIZED MODE
No wasting! Innotag’s OASIS system is conceived
to provide only the quantity of water necessary in order to avoid any
wasting. When the level sensor of tablecloth measures the wished level,
the fleet engages the control mechanism in stabilized mode. The food coming
from the pump is then stopped. If no precipitations occur, the tablecloth
drops more or less quickly according to evaporation rate. When the tablecloth
reachs a level lower than that wished, the system returns in irrigation
mode. So on the other hand if precipitations occur, the system passes
in draining mode.
DRAINING MODE
Too much water? In period of precipitations, system
OASISMC is conceived to allow an effective draining. When the level sensor
of the tablecloth measures a level higher than that wished, the fleet
engages the control mechanism in draining mode. The water supply coming
from the pump is stopped and when the rubber folds back it opens in order
to let the overflow of water run out. See the operation of the system
in draining mode.
FAVOURING SYSTEM OASISMC OVER OTHER TYPES Of IRRIGATION
- ensures an increased profitability by requiring less energy, of labour and maintenance.
- allows to satisfy all worries your requirements in draining and irrigation
- more effectively use of precipitations and water draining
- eliminates the evaporation losses
- water distributes uniformly
- eliminates any obstacle in order to allow the cultivation methods without interference
- can reduce the use of certain pesticides
- can reduce the fertilizer quantity and the pesticides transported by the underground draining water
- no electronic equipment required
CHARACTERISTICS
- complete automatic system, eliminating any need for intervention
- compatible with all models SCD of Innotag
- system built with powerful hydraulic equipment in order to reach the highest standards of reliability
- the enclosure system is built out of solid materials which ensures a prolong life
