Variant of the bubbler irrigation system, adapted to suit the conditions of the semi-arid region. In this system, the water emitters are not elevated above the ground surface, but are positioned directly on the ground. One of the main advantages is that it does not require pumping water. A level difference of just 1 meter is enough to guarantee irrigation, which means that water can be supplied using a pump, an existing water dam in the area or an elevated water tank. The material used in the system includes a hose or tube with a diameter of 32 or 40 mm to convey the water to the emitters. In addition, microtubes with a diameter equal to or smaller than 4 mm are used to take water from the main hose to specific irrigation points.
