Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient ways to water your landscaped areas. Unlike conventional sprinklers, drip irrigation systems slowly release water on top of the soil according to a preset schedule. Drip irrigation is one of the best choices for the environment. Compared to other sprinklers, drip irrigation systems can reduce water usage by as much as 65%. Drip irrigation delivers water at the base of the plant, so you don’t have to worry about the size of plants as they grow.
