During the Roman aqueduct, drip irrigation can be traced back to the early days, when water distribution line along the broken clay pipe plants. It was not until the formation of modern Israel, but only when needed, as well as in the root zone concept a precise rate of placement of a small amount of water, began commercial development. Israel is facing a shortage of water, often saline nature and the lack of prime agricultural land. They developed a line of porous polyethylene tubing. These early systems exposed many problems: near the source plants receive too much water, but at the end of the row of plants withered; spout easily blocked; elevation changes and complex, only a clear need for water conservancy projects.
Widely used in irrigated farming, the drip method is an important irrigation technique which, while conserving valuable resources -- water, land, labor, energy, and fertilizers -- promotes improved plant growth and productivity. Larger yields, better crops, and earlier production are important benefits to the grower whose livelihood depends on his irrigation system.
The objective of drip irrigation is to continually provide even moisture only to the plant’s root zone. Overhead sprinklers saturate entire areas followed by a drying out period. They are designed for lawns that need only shallow watering. Slow applications over long periods of time are required to get the deep water penetration required for deep-rooted vegetation.
Drip irrigation is a method of applying slow, steady, and precise amounts of water and nutrients to specific areas of trees, vines, ground covers, potted plants, or shrubs. At a slow application rate, water seeps into the soil and moves laterally by capillary action beneath the soil’s surface. An adequate section of the root zone of the plant is maintained with moisture close to soil capacity, providing a soil-to-water-to-plant relationship which is conductive to better plant growth. Thus, smaller quantities of water are used to the utmost efficiency. And no more pulling around the garden hose or sprinkler!
