Irrigation

SHI helps families with basic irrigation for their agricultural plots. One of the irrigation systems that we use is drip irrigation. Drip irrigation is a method which minimizes the use of water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root, through a network of valves and tubing. This cost-effective and time-saving method ensures that a garden is well-watered and conserves a great deal of valuable water and energy.
