Question
My daughter is doing a 6th grade science project on the benefits of the drip irrigation method for commercial farming. The area of focus is the southern San Joaquin Valley in CA. She is looking for data to support her hypothesis that farmers can save energy and use their water more efficiently using one of the many drip or sub irrigation methods. I have found some info from Cal Poly San Louis Obispo but she needs at least 2 more sources. Can you help?

Answer
Dee,

Have her search on Rainbird.com, or better yet check with your local Rainbird retail outlet (in the phone book). They are very knowledgeable, and for me, have provided literature and assistance through many drip irrigation projects.

Good Luck
Larry
