Drip Irrigation & Sprinklers
Drip irrigation, is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of your plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.
Properly designed, installed, and managed, drip irrigation saves water by minimizing evaporation. The required moisture level in the root zone is maintained and the plant gets its water from the soil without using much energy. In addition, fertilizer can be used via the dripping system, reducing the volume needed. In a garden, foliage remains dry, keeping the soil properly aired and preventing diseases that are spread through water contact with the foliage.
