Question
What is Trickle or Drip Irrigation?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Trickle irrigation or drip irrigation involves adding water to the plant drop by drop at or near the roots.
- Water is slowly provided to a very specific area, close to the roots of the plant, by a network of drip emitters.
- Despite their name, these tiny nozzles don't hang above the plants and drip but are actually laid along the ground.
- Linked to an appropriate water source by a main feeder hose, they provide a slow and steady flow of water.
