We are preparing the layout for irrigating a large vegetable garden (4,000+ sq. ft. planting beds) and two high tunnels. It is our plan to bring water from a creek (solar) into four 250 gallon tanks and distribute (under pressure with another pump) for both drip and overhead water distribution. The running length of the main supply line is 550 (est.) feet long on the west side of the garden area with a slight slope down to the east.
Here is my question: after leaving the pumping and storage area by the creek; would it be bad to use some (maybe 6-7 joints of 2" and 3" PVC pipe the I have no other need for in the main supply line? Would the storage advantage be negated by flow/pressure problems?
Thank you.
