Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation, is an efficient watering technique that involves applying water directly to the root zone of plants through a network of small diameter plastic pipes fitted with outlets called emitters. This method ensures water is applied at very low rates, minimizing evaporation and runoff. Unlike surface or sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation targets specific areas, enhancing water use efficiency and reducing wastage. It is particularly beneficial in arid regions and for crops requiring precise water application, leading to better crop yields and water conservation.
