Drip Irrigation System by JideMoshood(m): 12:52pm On Jun 07
A drip irrigation system is a type of irrigation method that saves water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants. The main components of a drip irrigation system include:
- Pump or pressurized water source
- Water filter or filtration systems
- Distribution lines
- Control valves and safety valves
- Emitters or drippers
Drip irrigation systems are used in farms, greenhouses, and gardens, especially in areas with acute water scarcity. The advantages of drip irrigation systems are:
- Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized
- Water application efficiency is high
- Less soil erosion
- Less weed growth
- Labour cost is less
- Usually operated at lower pressure than other types of pressurized irrigation
The disadvantages of drip irrigation systems are:
- Initial cost can be high
- The sun can affect the tubes used for drip irrigation, shortening their lifespan
- If the water is not properly filtered and the equipment not properly maintained, it can result in clogging
