The increasing shortage of irrigation water for irrigating crops requires the use of modern water-saving technolo-gies. Drip irrigation technology is the most optimal of them. Despite the demand for modern production, this technology is not yet widely used; the reason for which is the lack of technical means. In order to develop a technical means -pump-and-filtration plant for drip irrigation technology, the literature on adapting drip irrigation technology to certain countries was studied. The inventions were studied and the disadvantages characteristic of the existing devices de-signed for filtration of irrigation water wereidentified. Based on the analysis of these plants, a design of a mobile pump-and-filtration plant was proposed. The plant is transporta-ble, simple and reliable in operation, independent of the electricity source for driving the pump, and also combining high-quality three-stage cleaning of irrigation water: from sand and coarse particles through a hydrocyclone due to centrifugal force; cleaning small particles through a mesh filter and fine cleaning using a filter element. The design of the plant provides for the possibility of cleaning the filter element without interrupting the operation of the plant itself by separately disconnecting the fine filters using butterfly valves. The proposed plant enables agricultural producers, together with irrigation, to feed plants with mineral fertilizers required for their growth. The presence of a simple plant consisting of a butterfly valve, pipes and a system of valves allows adjusting the rate of fertilizer consumption and the frequency of its supply. The plant is easy to manufacture and efficient to use.
