Why Choose Drip Irrigation?
Drip irrigation is a method of watering plants by delivering water slowly and directly to the root zone through a network of tubes, pipes, and emitters.
It is commonly used for the following reasons:
- Water efficiency and conservation: It minimizes water loss from evaporation, runoff, wind, and overspray, making it ideal for areas with water scarcity or drought-prone regions. 0 1 2 3 5 8 9 10 12
