Up to seventy percent of water used for agriculture is surface water from reservoirs, lakes, canals, and ponds, containing considerable amounts of algae and other organic contaminants that significantly increase the risk of clogging. With water quality constantly deteriorating due to climate change, pollution, and the growing usage of reclaimed water, growers have an increasing need for effective filtration to prevent full and partial clogging and to protect their irrigation systems for sustainable long-term performance. An effective filtration system gives growers an added edge to help them improve growing conditions, reduce the risk of clogging and increase crop yield with a full piece of mind in the water supply.

“At Netafim we are committed to working with cutting-edge partners to develop solutions to combat the far-reaching effects of global water scarcity and improve water quality for growers,” said Netafim CEO Gabriel (Gaby) Miodownik. “AlphaDisc™️ helps growers adapt to changing conditions and stay productive through the efficient use of available surface water. AlphaDisc™  ensures a sustainable and reliable clean water supply, protecting the future of agriculture.”

“AlphaDisc™ represents a new generation of high-tech filtration systems that protect irrigation systems while offering performance data measurement so growers can precisely monitor and control their valuable resources,” said Dror Negbi, Global Filtration Product Manager, Netafim. “Through our partnership with Amiad, we have developed an innovative product that delivers high-quality water and enables growers to maximize an increasingly limited resource.”
