Did you know that drip irrigation is one of the most water-efficient irrigation techniques? Drip irrigation can reduce overall water consumption by up to 35% compared to traditional sprinklers. This is important in our climate!
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone of the plant. Correctly placed drip emitters around the drip line of the tree directly deliver water and reduce any evaporation of water before it reaches the roots of the plant. Learn more with Raluca from Arizona Water Company! #watertips

Drip systems need to have a pressure regulator at the valve. With too much pressure, it is easy for drip systems to start leaking and malfunctioning. Having a pressure regulator that works properly adjusts the water pressure entering the drip station and helps your system last longer.
Drip systems also need a filter to work properly. A filter at the valve stops any debris from getting into the system and clogging it up. Although very efficient, drip systems are extremely prone to clogs, which don’t allow water to get to plants.
