Drip irrigation is a highly efficient water delivery system that provides water directly to the roots of plants through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is designed to minimize water wastage by reducing evaporation and runoff. This system is particularly beneficial for row crops, orchards, and landscaped gardens where precise water application is necessary. Drip irrigation can be automated and regulated to provide the exact amount of water needed by the plants, promoting healthy growth and conserving water resources.
