Benefits of Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation is the slow application of water directly to the root zone of the plant, resulting in less water lost to evaporation in the sun and wind. The root zone is maintained at the ideal moisture level combining the proper balance of water and air. All of these factors promote deeper penetration of the roots, more verdant gardens and more abundant flower and fruit production. Drip irrigation applies water only where it is needed, with less runoff and evaporation.
Studies on drip irrigation systems demonstrate that they are up to 60% more efficient than sprinkler systems. In the heat of summer up to half of the water used by a typical household goes to irrigation of the landscape. Everyone would like to have a beautiful garden, but the methods by which such gardens are maintained have very differential effects on the environment and your pocket book. Conventional sprinkler heads measure water applied in GPM, or Gallons Per Minute whereas drip systems measure water applied in GPH, or Gallons Per Hour. Drip irrigation systems use less water while promoting lush plant growth.
