DRIP IRRIGATION

Drip irrigation can be a great aid to the efficient use of water.  A well designed drip irrigation system or subsurface drip irrigation system will lose practically no water to runoff, deep percolation or evaporation.  Irrigation scheduling can be precisely managed to meet crop demands, holding the promise of increased crop yields and quality.

It is then sprayed into the air through sprinklers so that it breaks up into small water drops which fall to the ground. The pump supply system, sprinklers and operating conditions must be designed to enable a uniform application of water.
