Wastewater Subsurface
Drip Distribution
Introduction
Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is a low-pressure, high efficiency irrigation system that uses buried drip tubes or drip tape to meet crop water needs. SDI technologies have been a part of irrigated agriculture since the 1960s; with the technology advancing rapidly in the last two decades. A SDI system is flexible and can provide frequent light irrigations. Water is applied much more slowly than with sprinkler irrigation.
