Yes, gas water heaters often drip after they are put into service after a prolonged shut-down, but it is not because of the pilot light. When the main burner ignites below a tank of cold water, the moisture contained in the gas flame will condense on the outside of the tank bottom and the flue that passes through the center of the tank. Once the water is hot, the water heater should stop dripping and the moisture below the water heater should evaporate. Continued dripping may indicate a leak and the water heater may need to be repaired or more likely replaced if it is older--more than five to seven years old.

Water is conveyed through a system of flexible pipelines operating at low pressure and it is applied to the plant through drip nozzles. This technique is also called as feeding bottle technique. There are two types of drip irrigation: - surface drip irrigation (drip tubes placed on the surface, or hung on a trellis as in vineyards) and - subsurface drip irrigation (where the drip tubes are buried beneath the surface and water is applied directly to the root zone). Drip irrigation can also be supplied with a root intrusion inhibitant - to stop roots affecting the drip emmitters. This is recommended for subsurface drip - although there are new products available that do not require the addition of herbicide to deter root intrusion.
