Does anybody know what has happened with this in the last two years? I'm curious if they are successfully being used.

- Retric 7y agoAt the stated 150,000$ to irrigate 25 acres this is in no way viable. At a guess this is generally viewed locally as rather pointless as you can store far more water with a simple earthen dam. Basically, the hard part is having water in the first place not storage. In terms of efficiency, spraying water into dry winter air likely resulted in quite a lot of evaporation. Further 150,000 liters of water sounds like a lot but it’s about 1.5 inch of water across an acre. Which is why you would need dozens if not hundreds of them per farm.
