The following other terms are also sometimes used to refer to localized irrigation: micro-irrigation, trickle irrigation, daily flow irrigation, drop-irrigation, sip irrigation, diurnal irrigation.
It is similar to drop-by-drop method (irrigation method used in farming).
Effectiveness of INCSs depends on type, dose, delivery method (i.e., nasal spray, drops, direct irrigation of the sinuses, catheters, and atomizer), and length of treatment.
In dry areas of Kenya, other simple methods such as drip irrigation, where water is released drop by drop directly on to the roots of the plant, are also of tremendous help.
Given that agriculture accounts for almost 70 percent of global water use, it will be critical to increase "crop per drop" through improved irrigation techniques and by growing food that needs less water.
Moreover to avoid direct contact of saline water with leaf surfaces in sprinkler irrigation, drop nozzles and drag hoses are recommended (Bauder 2007).
It was there, in the 1950s, that an engineer invented modern drip irrigation, which saves water and fertilizer by feeding it, drop by drop, to a plant's roots.
Webber, in his article, also provides some excellent insights into innovative farming techniques like drip irrigation, which yields "more crop per drop" and in the process, conserves water and the energy required to pump it.
