Drip irrigation systems are less likely to be damaged by wind or weather conditions. If your drip system is entirely buried (including the emitters), make sure that you manually run each zone to check for any leaks you may have, as they can hide underground.

Place plants with similar water needs on the same station to reduce the risk of overwatering some plants while underwatering others. Water your trees, shrubs, groundcover plants, and cacti all on separate stations if possible.
Make sure the drip emitters are placed at the canopy line of plants. What’s the canopy line? It’s the point on the ground where the branches of the plant end. When plants are young, the emitter is close to the base of the tree, but as the plant grows, make sure to move the emitter farther out. This promotes strong and wide roots so that your plants won’t blow over in the next monsoon. #watertips

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
