WATER-CONSERVING SURFACE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Preferred aspects of this invention relate to surface irrigation methods, systems and kits for irrigating a ground surface. In particular, these irrigation methods and systems are designed to conserve water and reduce run-off. Embodiments of the irrigation systems comprise a pipe and an emitter assembly, which comprises a sealing adapter, an emitter tube and a pressure compensating flow emitter. In preferred embodiments, such irrigation systems further comprise a controller adapted to transmit and receive data, including weather data, from a remote transceiver and adjust irrigation parameters for the system based on the data.
