3. The Drip or Trickle System

In a drip or trickle system, water is supplied drop by drop, directly to the roots, using a hosepipe. Drip irrigation is considered one of the most efficient methods of irrigation as it focuses the water onto the plant itself.

It is also best suited for areas where there is a shortage of water. Drip irrigation can use any type of water, including recycled and non-potable water, on any type of soil and any climate. It minimizes soil erosion, is energy- and cost-efficient and minimizes the growth of weeds as the water targets the crop itself.
