I was reading some international news, this afternoon, when I thought to develop a thesis writ small, towards alleviating concerns about annual rainfall rates, insofar as applications for agricultural irrigation and regular domestic watering– in shorter phrasing, a thesis statement towards a wordy overview about applications of drip irrigation systems for agriculture and for domestic gardening. Although my own studies, this morning, have been about some concepts towards defining a singular model for trusted computing, but as the author is a resident of the state ever referred to as New Albion, and as the author may be a geek with a heart for Aggie works, afield – in anything but the narcotics that some communities in the state may seek to "Legalize" locally – well and certainly, it may seem to call for a bridging idea. Thus....
California is up in arms, so to speak, about annual rainfall. The are already some alternate, less water consuming irrigation systems in use in the state, however the local news is portraying any characteristics of annual rainfall rates compared to previous years. In a practical sense, Flood irrigation might be great for some types of grain, and it's easy in a sense, but with enough low-flow irrigation sufficient to emulate regular rainfall via lighter hose-like systems, measured over soil types with a thought for rate of hydrological saturation, even a so-called drought may be manageable for regular agriculture and domestic applications. Painting that up with thirty bibliographical references in a thesis paper - not as easy.
Following on that item, in beginning to develop the matter into a broader thesis: Three primary types of irrigation, listed in order of an ad hoc estimation of "Rate of instantaneous water flow"
• Mist irrigation - seen with applications of water "Sprinkler" methodologies, commonly used for irrigation for species of grasses. Insofar as ambient water systems, mist irrigation may be seen with environmental "Fog"misting systems, towards a concept of ambient humidity, such as may benefit an application of some non-native fern type grasses within attending ecosystems.
• Drip irrigation - seen with the common drip irrigation system. Carries water to individual crops, without dumping additional water into further spaces either between plants or outside of furrows. See also: Root distributions of specific species; soil characteristics.
• Flood irrigation - seen with some approaches to rice growing, ie. in agriculture of traditional "Padddies" in rice growing. Seen alternately in some traditional "Furrow flooding" approaches for irrigation of vineards, orchards, and analogous species of agricultural crops. (Proposed: The "Furrow flooding" method of irrigation, howsoever applied with soil as the primary water carrier – in substituting lightweight hose for water carrying, it might find an easy substitute in drip irrigation, pending design and subsequent acceptance of any suitable drip irrigation system)
