Micro irrigation is a system of tubes and drippers which deliver water directly to the base of each plant or crop. It allows water to be used with much greater efficiency than that provided by convential sprinkler systems and hosepipes, and systems can also be automated to some degree with the use of timers.
During the summer, having grown fed up of watering cans and hose pipes, I constructed an automatic micro-irrigation system, from water timer to mini sprinklers. It's a fantastic bit of kit - good fun to sort out, fascinating to see in action, flexible, useful and water efficient.

If you've ever felt a bit fed up with lugging the aforementioned watering can about the garden, soaked yourself yet again while struggling with the hose pipe, or are simply concerned with being a bit more water efficient, try micro irrigation. It's still early days for me, but watering 12 containers, a mini grow house and 20 metres of border is done at the the turn of a tap, and completed in about 5 minutes while I get on with something else altogether! In fact, I don't even have to turn the tap on at all, if I don't feel like it or am on holiday: I have a timer attached directly to my outside tap which can be set to water the garden one or more times a day, for a variable period, at whatever time of day I see fit.

Macro and micro irrigation entails the use of mini sprinklers couple to a PVC hose. These systems can be comprised of drip hoses and mist sprayers, with quite a variety of areas covered - 90, 180, and 360 degrees can be be covered. These micro sprayers can spray downward and upward. I prefer the upward type as they do tend to cover a wider area. The spray nozzles are color-coded and the area covered are printed on the package. They come in sets of 5, and are inexpensive. I'd consider the biggest investment in installing macro irrigation being the labor involved.
Examples of irrigation system are,Perennial irrigation (Dams)Direct irrigation (river canal irrigation)Storage irrigation (tanks and resevoirs)
In large greenhouses, a series of long, narrow, plastic semi-porous pipes, are laid alongside or buried in the growing medium of the rows of plants. This type of micro-irrigation saves water and labour, by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants. It also avoids wasting nutrients that can happen when watering with a hosepipe.

Micro-Irrigation is defined as the application of water in small, frequent and precise quantity to each plant separately through emitters. It is the most advanced irrigation technique having highest application efficiency. In this process, water is continuously delivered in drops at the same point and moves it into soil and create moisture vertically by gravity and horizontally by capillary action. Micro-Irrigation and especially drip irrigation it uses less amount of water than the traditional techniques and it applies to the specific region so wastage of water can be avoided, also right & calculated amount of water results in more productivity and water conservation.

Irrigation is the process of supplying water artificially to the plants through land or soil. Some of the commonly used irrigation types are surface irrigation, localized irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, sub irrigation, automatic irrigation and in-ground irrigation.
Examples of irrigation system are,Perennial irrigation (Dams)Direct irrigation (river canal irrigation)Storage irrigation (tanks and resevoirs)
Drip irrigation is a form of irrigation where water is literally applied as drops to each plant from a dripper attached to a plastic pipe This form of irrigation can be very helpful on undulating land, and uses limited water supply to its best advantage.Drip irrigation is also called trickle irrigation and it is the best method of irrigation because, by the falling of water drop by drop into the roots, the water does not get wasted.It is also known as micro-irrigation.In this system water falls drop by drop just as the root zone.This system minimizes the use of water and fertilizers by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone through a network of valves, pipes, tubes and emitters.
