The short answer is yes. When we think of drip irrigation we typically think of above ground emitters dripping water onto the ground at the base of a plant. While this approach works very well, its effectiveness is limited in areas where there is a lot of runoff or evaporation. Drip tape is a product that has been developed to address these problems with the drip tape New Zealand being installed underground and delivering water to the roots of the plant. The use of drip tape for irrigation is especially prevalent in New Zealand and market gardens around Auckland.
