| Abstract/Contents: | "...advances in collecting and distributing irrigation water from the great underground aqueducts of ancient Rome to the precision application of low-volume micro-irrigation, have been astounding. Our success in replicating rainfall in its uniformity and nourishing capabilities may have surpassed the talents of Mother Nature herself...Drip, microspray and soaker or 'sweat' tubing were compared on several fronts, including efficiency, durability, aesthetics and practicality." Topics discussed include: Microsprayers: low-volume, high-profile; Drip: the invisible irrigator; Control through technology; and Lessening liability. |
