Sprinklers

A drip irrigation system will help you deliver water more efficiently, thereby saving you time and money. Drip emitters generally apply water more slowly than a sprinkler system, making them perfect for slopes or hilly areas because there’s less runoff. Drip systems are also good if your water pressure is low. They work best at pressures under 30 psi (pounds per square inch). Finally, they’re less expensive to install than an underground sprinkler system, and are easily altered as your garden grows.

Drip irrigation can easily be installed on sites with large undulating slopes. It can be installed without disturbing the site as much as trench or bed construction does.

A properly engineered and managed subsurface drip irrigation system using reclaimed water offers many advantages over conventional disposal methods it minimizes health risks associated with exposure to reclaimed water by distributing the water below grade. It directly applies the water to plant root-zones and achieves a more manageable balanced water distribution throughout a relatively shallow soil profile.

Drip irrigation systems are considered when high groundwater, shallow soils slowly permeable soils or highly permeable soils are present at the site or when water conservation is needed.
