Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation or localized irrigation, is an

irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of

plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves,

pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrowtubes that deliver water directly to the

base of the plant.
