The document discusses drip irrigation, including its components, advantages, and applications. Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation, applies water directly to plant roots through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters to prevent water stress. It has advantages like reduced water use, lower pumping needs, and automation. Some disadvantages include the initial investment required and need for high quality water and ongoing maintenance. The document concludes that drip irrigation optimizes water use and yields good results if properly installed and maintained.

3. Introduction
 Also known as Trickle irrigation or micro
irrigation
 To apply sufficient moisture to the root of the
crops – prevent water stress
 Drip irrigation is normally used in areas where
rainfall is inconsistent or dry condition or
drought is expected

5. Components of drip
irrigation
 Water source
 Pumping system
 Distribution system
 Injectors
 Filtration systems

6. Model of drip irrigation

7. Advantages of drip irrigation
 Reduced water use
 Joint management of irrigation
 Reduced pest problems
 Low pumping needs
 Automation
 Adaptation

8. Disadvantages
 The drip irrigation system needs an economic
investment.
 The drip irrigation system needs the
maintenance and the water of high quality.
 It has the issue of leakage and its repair.
 It has the safety-related problems.
 The pattern of water application must match
the pattern of planting

9. Applications

10. Conclusion
 It makes water use optimized
 It decrease percolation and runoff of water
 It doesn’t allow the growth or spread of
disease causing bacteria
 If this system is properly installed and
maintained then it yields good results
