Drip Irrigation Systems

Reduce Water Waste Intelligently

Today, every property owner needs to think greener when it comes to water use around their property. Whether you own a home, business, commercial, or agricultural property, you are probably using too much water to keep your greenery happy. Drip irrigation is an intelligent method to cut back on water use without making your property’s plants run dry by slowing and precisely dripping water directly to the root zone.

At Conserva Irrigation, we offer drip irrigation services and systems to our customers. No matter your property and irrigation needs, we are certain that drip irrigation can help you control water usage.

Drip irrigation systems are most effective for smaller watering areas, like:

• Planters
• Hedges
• Gardens
• Decorative flowerbeds

How Does Drip Irrigation Work?

Using a specially designed irrigation system comprised mostly of valves and tubing, drip irrigation slowly drips water onto plants, flowers, and sometimes crops. The system is designed to get water right to the roots of plants, rather than spraying it onto leaves, petals, and stems. Some systems use as little as one-fifth of a gallon of water per hour for the average-sized planter or flowerbed. Micro irrigation is a form of drip irrigation, noteworthy due to the especially small tubing used throughout the system that allows for an even slower, more controlled drip.

There are two types of drip irrigation and micro irrigation methods:

• Surface: The dripline is placed above the ground or rests on the soil, where it drips near the roots. Surface drip irrigation systems can be moved and modified as needed.
• Subsurface or subterranean: The dripline is buried beneath the soil, sometimes as deep as 12 or so inches. Subsurface drip irrigation is a fantastic way to get water right to the roots of your property’s greenery, but it is more difficult to move and modify due to its subterranean placement.
