drip system

Slow watering setup

A drip system is an irrigation method that delivers water slowly and directly to plant roots through a network of tubes, emitters, and drippers.

Unlike sprinklers that broadcast water, drip systems minimize evaporation and runoff by targeting precise locations: We installed a drip system for the tomatoes.

The term also applies to medical IV setups that deliver fluids at controlled rates.
