Micro irrigation begins with an economical reuse of irrigation water hydrants at Leafy Greens Farm in the Salinas Valley of California on Thursday, June 16, 2011. A series of reduction couplings lead to the collapsible header tube that supply water to dozens of separate tubes. That take water to every plant in the row. Water evaporation is kept to a minimum because water is delivered to the soil, not sprayed into the air or to exposed areas. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
