Claim 0:
1. An emitter configured to be joined to an inner wall surface of a tube for carrying irrigation liquid at a position corresponding to a discharging port configured to communicate between inside of the tube and outside of the tube to quantitatively discharge the irrigation liquid inside the tube from the discharging port to the outside of the tube, the emitter comprising:
an emitter body; and
a base seat part configured to be housed in the emitter body,
wherein the emitter body includes:
an intake part configured to take in the irrigation liquid,
a pressure reducing channel groove communicated with the intake part and configured to form a pressure reducing channel, the pressure reducing channel being configured to carry the irrigation liquid while depressurizing the irrigation liquid,
a housing part communicated with the pressure reducing channel groove and configured to house the base seat part,
a diaphragm part having flexibility and configured to deform toward the base seat part when receiving a pressure of the irrigation liquid in the tube in a state where the base seat part is housed in the housing part, and
a discharging part configured to temporarily store the irrigation liquid to be discharged from the discharging port, and

wherein the base seat part includes:
a base seat with which the diaphragm part under the pressure of the irrigation liquid in the tube makes contact,
a communication hole whose one opening is open at the base seat, and whose another opening is open at a surface on a side opposite to the base seat, the communication hole being configured to discharge, toward the discharging port, the irrigation liquid having entered the housing part from the pressure reducing channel groove, and
a deformation suppression part disposed to protrude from a surface on a side opposite to the base seat with which the diaphragm part deformed under the pressure of the irrigation liquid makes contact, and disposed at a periphery of the openings of the communication hole, the deformation suppression part being configured to suppress deformation of the base seat due to the pressure of the irrigation liquid by making contact with the tube when the diaphragm part under the pressure of the irrigation liquid is in contact with the base seat, and

wherein the deformation suppression part includes a deformation suppression part body and an ejection groove,
wherein one end portion of the ejection groove is communicated with the communication hole, and the other end portion of the ejection groove reaches a side surface of the deformation suppression part body on a side opposite to the discharging part in the deformation suppression part body.
