The Advantages of Drip Irrigation Systems

Drip irrigation systems strive to distribute water among plants and crops more efficiently, using a system of plastic piping and low-pressure water flow. In terms of efficiency and waste, this type of method is far superior to sprinkler systems. Here are a few of the advantages of drip irrigation systems.

Drip irrigation provides water to specific locations at a slow pace. Whereas sprinkler systems cause water loss because of evaporation and runoff, drip irrigation water goes directly into the soil; it can even be used effectively in windy conditions. If you are a particularly busy individual, you can use a controller to arrange automatic irrigation. All you need to do is make sure that you adhere to the irrigation schedule. Adding new plants and removing old ones is easy, and it requires the simple repositioning of emitter lines. In addition, drip irrigation systems eliminate the damage to wooden fences, pavement, and house siding that sprinkler systems cause.
