Drip irrigation:

- minimizes the use of water by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone
- uses devices called micro-spray heads, which spray water in a small area, or dripping emitters.
- subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) uses buried dripperline at or below the plant roots.
- good in areas where water supplies are limited or recycled water is used for irrigation
