Water Wise Irrigation Basics

Drip Irrigation Systems Drip Irrigation uses plastic tubing to deliver water directly to the root systems of plants. Tubing Emitter: gets pushed directly into the tubing every 12 inches to provide water to the plants

A few benefits of Drip Irrigation It uses less water because it delivers water to only the plants that need it. No watering cement or houses. It is not affected by wind. It is inexpensive to install and maintain, and flexible to design. Less weeds grow because there is not wasteful watering between plants. Drip irrigation systems are so efficient that they are often exempt from watering restrictions.

Anatomy of Drip Irrigation The components between the faucet and tubing are typically purchased in a control kit for easy installation.

Micro-Spray Irrigation Micro-Spray Irrigation is a cross between traditional sprinklers and drip irrigation. Plastic tubing delivers water to spray nozzles attached to risers.

A few advantages and disadvantages… It uses low water pressure like drip irrigation but creates a larger wetted area. It waters ground cover or small plants more efficiently than drip irrigation. It loses more water during windy conditions. Watering a larger area may result in more weeds.
