What Are the Different Methods for Irrigation Installation?
Irrigation systems are used to provide moisture to plants, gardens and lawns. The most common methods for irrigation installation are sprinkler systems, drip systems, ditch irrigation, and terraced irrigation. The method used depends on the size of the area being irrigated, the weather and soil conditions, and the products growing. Sprinkler systems are typically used in homes, parks and golf clubs. A narrow trench is dug approximately six inches (15 cm) deep and PVC pipes are laid in the trench. The pipe contains joints at designated intervals into which the sprinkler head is screwed. The end of the pipe is connected to a water spigot and usually a timer device is connected to the water spigot. The water flows through the pipes and out the sprinkler heads at predetermined times.
