Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) delivers water to soil through a geotextile material, enhancing water efficiency by creating a more uniform wetting pattern compared to traditional methods. Key features of SDI include individual emitters and a reliance on surface placement, which can lead to funneling and uneven soil moisture. Effective management and installation are critical for the success of domestic subsurface irrigation systems.

1. Water efficiency- The best solution For
Irrigation
Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) is a
system where water is supplied to
the soil from the surface of a
geotextile texture instead of through
emitters in a drip line.
Deploying the water over a big area of
geotextile lessens the rate of water
discharge to the soil bringing it
closer to the capillary absorption
rate. The geotextile strip also
transforms the drip line from a
series of point sources to a single,
wide line source.
The drip lines are designed to be used
on the soil surface, and don’t work
well when buried. They create less
uniform wetting patterns and are
quite sensitive to the soil type.

2. Some Vital features of SDI
Designed to be used on the surface
Individual emitters spaced at intervals
along the pipe
Produces a series of circular wetting
patterns that are not continuous and
are tear drop shaped in cross
section. The moisture of the soil is
less uniform and more water is
necessary to wet up the entire root
zone.
SDI system is more vulnerable to
funneling which brings water to the
surface.
Water discharge is emphasized around
each emitter. This saturates the soil
and causes funneling and deep
drainage. The capacity of the soil to

3. Under Lawn Irrigation
The pipes that are installed totally
underground to develop the quality
of soil so that the plants can get
enough nutrients from the soil to
grow.

4. Domestic Subsurface Irrigation
The Domestic Subsurface Irrigation
can only be successful if the
management and installation is
accurate, which is very essential.

5. Subsurface Drip Irrigation
Watering a huge area like lawn, water
and energy loss is normal. So, by
installing Subsurface Drip
Irrigation under the lawn will help
you in applying water.
