Book Description

This book is intended for people who need to know practical, technical details related to design, material selection, installation, and management of drip and micro irrigation systems. The information in this book was obtained over the years from discussions with literally hundreds of growers, system designers, installers, and professionals. The information is (i) a mix of new ideas developed by the authors; (ii) a compilation of grower, dealer, and manufacturer experiences and common knowledge; and, (iii) some data from published articles or books. Using our own practical experiences and academic backgrounds, we attempted to sort through and organize this information. Our objective is to help people shorten the "learning curve".
