YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cotton growers have used siphons for decades to transfer water from channels over a bank onto the crop.

Cheap and low-tech, they're also labour-intensive having to be started and stopped by hand around the clock during irrigation season.

'Bank-less' systems are now removing the banks and release water in stages - getting water on and off crops quicker.

This has saved water, provided efficiencies, increased yields and is less labour-intensive.
