We intensively covered drip irrigation:
Drip irrigation (sometimes called
trickle irrigation) works by applying water slowly,
directly to the soil, bloop, bleep, bloop, bleep. The high efficiency is that
the water soaks into the soil before it can evaporate or run off, and the water
is only applied where it is needed, (at the plant's roots) rather than sprayed
everywhere.
While sprinkler systems are around
75-85% efficient, drip systems typically are 90% or higher. Less wasted water
with drip irrigation. It is easy to install, easy to design, can be very
inexpensive, and can reduce disease problems associated with high levels of
moisture on some plants.
In
brief, drip irrigation’s benefits are that it uses less water
It
dries mid rows and foliage, pesticides are not washed off, it fertilizes through
the drip system, it provides precision placement of water, It is used under
mulches, it provides water uniformly, and it is not influenced by wind.
Problems encountered with drip irrigation are the clogging of particles, water
quality, the expense of lines and tubes, determining how much to water, and the
time and money to install them.
