Abstract :Agricultural irrigation is a critical component for the sustainability and productivity of the agricultural sector. Irrigation systems must be carefully selected to meet the water needs of agricultural areas and improve product quality. Pump types are at the center of irrigation systems and stand out as one of the main factors that determine irrigation efficiency by ensuring water movement. The parameters to consider when selecting a pump include technical features such as distribution distance, elevation differences, and water flow. Energy efficiency is also an important concept in agricultural irrigation systems. The energy consumption of a water pump is a determining factor in both economic and environmental terms. While energy efficiency reduces the overall cost of the irrigation system, it also helps minimize the company’s carbon footprint. Advanced technology and innovative pump designs provide more water transfer capacity with less energy consumption. Therefore, investigating the energy efficiency dimension of pump types plays a critical role for the future of agricultural irrigation. Reliable and sustainable pump solutions allow farmers to maintain the ecological balance and increase production. Therefore, the aim of this study is to shed light on sustainable agricultural practices by examining the adequacy and efficiency of pump solutions in agricultural irrigation.
