What Is Drip Irrigation?

Drip irrigation delivers water slowly through emitters positioned near plants, on or below the soil surface.

Drip irrigation delivers water slowly through emitters positioned near plants, on or below the soil surface. Emitters along a pipe feed conceptual wetted areas below the surface.

How to Understand It

Emitters apply water at specific points rather than spraying a broad area. Water then moves through the surrounding soil. The wetted shape varies with soil and runtime; separate wetting bulbs in this illustration are conceptual, not a spacing recommendation.
