Drip irrigation systems can get clogged, causing uneven water distribution. Researchers tested different emitters and water sources to see how clogging affects performance. They found that inline emitters clog more with treated wastewater, while online emitters clog less. Groundwater caused less clogging overall compared to treated wastewater.
