Drip Irrigation

Major Products

• Drip products deliver water directly to the

root zone. Use dripline for dense plantings

where it’s cost effective to distribute low-

volume water evenly. Use a system of

precise emitter devices for sparse

plantings where it’s cost effective to

separately irrigate each plant.

• Use drip to eliminate overspray, and

you’ll eliminate waste. Eliminate

unsightly spray stains on buildings and

fences. Eliminate soil erosion, water

runoff, and potential litigation.

Walkways, roads, and vehicles stay dry.

• Ask your tax advisor about capital

depreciation when calculating your

return-on-investment for a drip

retrofit. Save water, and save

money at the same time.
