As water becomes scarce, and competition is growing between the energy and agricultural sectors, there is still a lack of reliable and policy-relevant data and information to guide water allocation choices.
Drip Irrigation: The Basics
extension.arizona.eduDrip irrigation – also known as low-flow, micro, and trickle irrigation – is the slow, measured application of water through devices called emitters. It is the most efficient way to irrigate. A wide variety of quality products has been developed to make drip irrigation reliable and easy to use for almost any landscape situation.
