Drip Irrigation

Drip irrigation is a watering method which delivers water to plants slowly at the roots. It is also known as trickle or micro-irrigation. Where typical pop-up sprinklers spray water into the air and onto plants, drip irrigation systems combine flexible poly drip tubing and drip emitters (or drippers) to both conserve water and save money.

Drip systems are not affected by wind and will greatly reduce evaporation and runoff common with traditional irrigation systems. Drip irrigation is the perfect solution for raised beds, vegetable gardens, and potted plants.  See also Emitter, Barbed Fitting, and Poly Pipe.

Distribution Uniformity

This refers to how evenly water is distributed over an irrigated area. Distribution Uniformity (DU) is determined using a catchment test. Cups are evenly spaced over the area to capture the water as it is delivered by the irrigation system.

The most common method for determining DU is called the Low Quarter method. To determine the DU of an irrigation zone using this method, divide the average reading of the lowest one-quarter of catchments by the average reading of all catchments. Multiply that number by 100.The resulting percentage is your Distibution Uniformity.

A DU of 75% - 85% is excellent.

65% - 70% is good.

A DU below 65% is generally considered poor.

Drip Tape

Commonly used by commercial growers, drip tape is a thin-walled dripline with inline emitters pre-installed at preset spacings. The tape is flat and expands when filled with water. It is a great product for row crops and vegetable gardens. 

Drip tape fittings use a twisting mechanisim rather than compression or barbed fittings like conventional drip tubing.
