drip irrigation
one solution for conserving in arid climates

There are many ways to water gardens, and an appropriate method is chosen based on availability of a water source followed by the specific needs of your plant varieties. The end goal when selecting the best method of watering is reducing evaporation and other water loss while supporting the plant needs.

drip irrigation 101 from GG offers a quick overview.
look for a Q & A session at the Hq in April '09 (Saturday 10:30-12pm)

see recommendations and rebates from the Albuquerque Water Authority

things to remember:
  1. drip irrigation requires regular maintenance
  2. hard water, like we have in Albuquerque, creates a build up on parts
  3. most parts are relatively inexpensive, as drip is very affordable
  4. irrigation parts are chosen based on the water requirement of the plants
  5. too much water can be a problem for low water varieties
