Drip irrigation is a high-efficiency, low-pressure, water-saving method that delivers water directly to plant root zones through a network of pipes and emitters at rates usually less than lph. By reducing evaporation and runoff, it offers 30–50% water savings over conventional methods, making it ideal for row crops, vines, and, in some cases,, even residential gardens, enhancing plant yield and reducing, or, almost, even eliminating, weed, growth. .
