A good irrigation system can be designed using PVC pipe, which is durable and cost-effective. Water can be from many sources, including irrigation ditches and wells.

Also, mark where water connections are in relation to the garden. This will help with the calculations on how much pipe and how many fittings will be necessary. Basic emitters use one gallon of water per hour. Smaller emitters use 1/2 gallon of water per hour. To calculate how big your lines need to be, count the number of emitters along the lines.
