In my interactions with farmers, I have discovered their ignorance in an area that concerns them- biofilm. Biofilm is a collection of several micro-organisms in which cells stick together inside the water pipes and enjoy a conducive environment that supports their breeding. These organisms then end up producing slimy and sticky glue-like substances that tend to clog and narrow the size of the pipes. As these harmful bacteria grow, they dislodge and get consumed by birds.
