The "Typical Drip System Layout" illustration has been developed to help those who are unfamiliar with drip irrigation understand basic drip irrigation system components and concepts. The illustration is organized into two halves. First, the "headworks" portion of a drip irrigation system shows the typical water sources, pumps, filters, chemical injection equipment and controls used in a drip irrigation system. Second, the "field" portion of the drip irrigation system shows typical layouts for five different types of drip irrigation: field crop subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), short term vegetable crop, longer term vegetable crop, vineyard and orchard. Although every application and design will be different than this illustration, it provides a starting point for discussion with viewers unfamiliar with drip irrigation.
