To invent irrigation machine, Mr. Dam used grass cutting machine or rice paddy cutting machine together with other waste materials. The special thing is that we do not hold it on the shoulder or control manually. It shall automatically move and water. To do that, he attaches parts of grass cutting machine or cutting machine to a plastic container, then applies additional water pipe 90 (Binh Minh plastic) to make feet on the ground. Concurrently, he creates float device to make it move along the fields. Just starting the machine, then it can move from one to another and water automatically.

          The advantage is that if we water on the area of 1,000 square meters, it costs 100,000 VND of fuel and takes 10 minutes. In case we use labors, it needs at least 3-4 labors or above. Mr. Pham Van Dam said, “In the early years, few people knew about this. However, in the recent years, the machine has been sold greatly. Since early 2014 to present, I have sold out 70 machines with the price from 1,2 – 1,5 million VND per piece depending on type for farmers of Long An, Kien Giang, Can Tho, Vinh Long, An Giang provinces...”
