Understanding Drip Irrigation in India

It is an advanced and efficient watering system designed to provide water directly to the base of a plant in a controlled and precise manner.

The primary element is the mainline, a conduit that channels water from the primary source. This water is then distributed to sub-mainlines, which in turn feed into smaller pipes known as laterals.

Attached to these laterals are emitters or drippers, which release water directly to the soil at a slow, controlled rate.

First step in implementation includes soil assessment and crop selection
