Is Drip Distribution Right for Your Site?

Drip distribution has been around for almost two decades. The first system of this type I was involved with was during a research and demonstration project looking at alternative systems for Minnesota around 2000. The system, in various forms, had existed long before then, mostly in Southern states or where irrigation was used extensively.If you are unfamiliar with the concept, pretreated effluent is applied to soil through a series of tubes equipped with emitters that allow a small amount of effluent into the soil at a time. This allows the effluent to be distributed more evenly over a large area.
