| Abstract/Contents: | "Drip irrigation systems are one means of moving water from a source to a specific location through a closed network of piping. The drip outlets, or emitters, provide the transition from this closed network to the open environment at plant material locations. The two principle methods of applying water to plants using drip irrigation are by either point of emission or by area saturation." Further discusses point of emission systems. Other topics discussed include; equalizing pressure, planning and plotting, grids and gravity zones, and dealing with drainage. |
