How is KISSS different to conventional sub-surface drip irrigation systems?
A. Conventional subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) systems discharge water to the soil from regularly spaced emitters along a drip line. Each emitter acts as a point source of water and so the drip line gives rise to a series of circular wetting patterns. Conventional sub-surface irrigation systems must be run long enough to wet the driest region of soil. KISSS’ patented design disperses water evenly by matching the capillary action of the soil, creating a controlled and uniform wetting pattern. The KISSS irrigation system saves water by directing water straight to the root zone and matching soil absorption rates. Q.
