Abstract/Contents:Explains how subsurface drip irrigation (SSDI) may be a solution for efficient water use. States that "compared to sprinklers, water consumption is reduced due to less runoff, less evaporation, no wind interference and a more uniform distribution." Discusses the design of SSDIs, including filters, pressure or flow regulator, electric solenoid valves, irrigation controller, vacuum relief vent, emitter lines, and flushing lines. Details operation and maintenance, reclaimed water, and costs. Concludes that "the proven efficiency of SSDI coupled with improved products and practices makes it an effective tool for irrigating playing fields with both runoff and reclaimed water."
