Drip irrigation was first used by the Israelis to conquer the desert. Thin plastic tubing is run underground with tiny holes to let out the water right at the root of the plant. This makes maximum use of the little water that is available and can irrigate vast areas.

What is Drip irrigation in the Murray river?

Drip irrigation is a type of irrigation used in the Murray River. Drip irrigation is a continuous tube with evenly spaced emitters that 'drip' water. Drip irrigation is used on the surface, often hung from trellis, or below the surface. Drip irrigation, especially subsurface, is a water efficient approach to irrigation and so is favoured along the Murray River as the area is in extreme drought. There is a new type of extremely water efficient irrigation that is starting to be used throughout the Murray river area, because it uses far less water than any other irrigation system. The KISSS Subsurface Textile Irrigation system is increasingly used in sports fields, crops and backyards due to it's water efficiency.

How do you plant seminis hybrid onions through drip irrigation system?

You don't. No crop seed can be planted through a drip system since the emitter orifices are much too small to allow a seed to pass through. Most onions which are irrigated with drip systems are planted after the drip lines have been laid. There are several different machines which can be used to lay the drip lines at the correct depth in the soil.
