Low Pressure Drip Irrigation

Low pressure drip irrigation works with the help of gravity. Containers of waters are needed depending on size of your crop area. In this project, two containers holding a capacity of 30 gallon each are used to provide each plant with an equivalent amount of water.

The containers are placed on the highest point of the field for the water to have enough gravitational pull. If the terrain is plane then you can do what we call a "tapesco" or an elevated platform to put the water drums at the top. The concept behind the low pressure drip irrigation is to water the plants with an irrigation system with the help of gravity
