14. Watering Drop by Drop

Interpretive Intent: Drip irrigation is extremely important in hot climates. Drip irrigation allows plants to be individually irrigated. There is no wasted spray going into the air and blowing away or evaporating, all the water goes directly into the ground where the plant can use it. There are many types, applications and manufacturers of drip irrigation.

Exhibit Design: A huge whimsical drip emitter graces the edge of this exhibit giving full view to something that is normally not much larger than your fist. A large case on the concrete wall displays a number of drip irrigation emitters. On the adjacent wall a case shows drip assemblies. Visitors get an elevated view of what normally is quite well hidden.
