- Drip lines are hard tubes. They do not easily expand or stretch when water flows through.
- Plastic polymer materials which are less affected by harsh weather conditions.
- Small emitter holes. Drip lines have numerous holes that release water. The holes have a uniform spacing throughout the pipe on the lower section of the pipe.
How do drip emitters work?
Drip emitter pipes supply water to plant rows and release them to the soil at the plants root base through the emitter holes. As water flows under pressure, the emitter holes releases water in droplets at the surface of the tape touching the ground.
Is Pressure required for water to flow in drip lines?
Pressure is not a requirement to operate drip irrigation. The water flow is possible under gravity, or pressure generated by a raised tank connection. So long as there is a proper pipe connection at place, the water flows effectively to all farm sections.
