drip irrigation
Slow plant watering
Drip irrigation is a watering method that delivers water slowly and directly to plant roots through a network of tubes, pipes, and emitters.
Unlike sprinklers that broadcast water over a wide area, drip systems minimize evaporation and runoff by placing moisture precisely where plants need it.
The technique is especially valued in arid climates and for crops like grapes and tomatoes where consistent, efficient watering improves yield.
The vineyard switched to drip irrigation to conserve water during the drought.
