Laboratory testes on using local rock materials for filtration media of micro irrigation systems

Abstract: The present study aimed to study the possibility of using some local rock material as a filtration media. These rock material are available in Egypt desert and waste of granite factories instead of the expensive imported media used for filtration unit in pressurized irrigation systems. Ten local and one imported media samples were surveyed and tested.
The Laboratory experiment tests showed that, four local samples can be selected as a filtration media due to similarity of it’s mechanical , chemical and physical specifications with the same specification of the foreign basalt (standard measurements).
