An SPIS comprises multiple components that have particular technical specifications and operation and maintenance requirements. Indeed, some mechanical and electrical technology may be vulnerable to defects if operated wrongly. Careful operation of the system not only prevents system failure and costly repairs, but also assures a longer lifespan. While technical data sheets and installation instructions exist most individual SPIS components, operational manuals covering an entire system are the exception. Since an SPIS is designed for an individual case, the operation and maintenance manuals should be customized.
Comprehensive documentation of the system and its operation and maintenance needs to be provided by the supplier and the installer during the acceptance, system test or final hand-over! This should be agreed on with the technology provider and/or the installer during contract negotiations.
Ideally, the operational manual also includes information about the negative implication of excessive water abstraction for the environment. A systematically designed irrigation system operates on the principle of a sustainable water abstraction in line with the available water resources and the underlying water rights / permits.
