ABSTRACT:
A drip irrigation system employs a low-pressure head of about 11/2 to 2 psi preferably by storage of water in a tank providing a column head of about 54 in. Header pipes extending into the field from the column are formed with holes at intervals. For each hole there is a flexible fitting having an end which fits into the header hole with a water-tight fit and has a short nipple at its opposite end. Then plastic tubing (e.g. about 0.001 to 0.002 thick high density polyethylene of approximately 11/4 inch diameter when expanded and formed with holes of about 0.001 to 0.00025 inch diameter at about 24 to 28 holes per foot) is taped to the nipple.
