Explanation

  • Localised irrigation is a system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped network, in a pre-determined pattern and applied as small discharge to each plant or adjacent to it.
  • Drip irrigation, spray or micro sprinkler irrigation and bubbler irrigation belong to this category of irrigation methods.
  • In drip irrigation, water is delivered at or near the root zone of the plants, drop by drop. This method can be the most water efficient method of irrigation, if managed properly, since evaporation and runoff losses are minimised.
