Abstract/Contents: | Discusses irrigation practices and water reuse. States that "Kelowna, B.C. [British Columbia] has embraced the installation of Canadian-made greywater recycling systems. All wastewater is treated and reclaimed for other applications." Mentions low volume or drip and micro-irrigation, explaining that "the micro-irrigation system encompasses devices rated in gallons per house (GPH). This includes dripline with emission devices spaced inside the water tube at preset distances of 12 inches, 18 inches, or 24 inches. Done right, the system will operate at a very high efficiancy level." |
