The invention provides an
afforestation drip irrigation system and an
afforestation method for gobi desert regions. The
afforestation drip irrigation system is applied by the aid of the afforestationmethod. The afforestation
drip irrigation system comprises a head hub, a drip
irrigation main
pipe and drip
irrigation branch pipes. The head hub, the drip
irrigation main
pipe and the drip irrigationbranch pipes are sequentially connected with one another, a plurality of drip irrigation capillary pipes which are arranged along tree rows are connected onto the drip irrigation
branch pipes, the drip irrigation
branch pipes further comprise water inlet pipes, the water inlet pipes are vertically embedded in tree pits, a pressure compensation type dripper is arranged on a certain position on each drip irrigation capillary
pipe whenever the drip irrigation capillary pipe is in contact with the corresponding tree pit and is connected with a capillary pipe, the upper portions of the water inletpipes are exposed out of the ground, protective covers are arranged on the tops of the water inlet pipes with opening bottoms, capillary pipe holes are formed in the upper portions of the water inletpipes, and the capillary pipes extend into the water inlet pipes via the capillary pipe holes. The afforestation drip irrigation system and the afforestation method have the advantages that water andfertilizers can be directly delivered to the roots of trees by the water inlet pipes, accordingly, concealed drip irrigation can be implemented,
evaporation from the ground can be reduced, drip
irrigation water consumption can be decreased, and the
survival rate of the trees can be greatly increased;
breather holes are formed in the water inlet pipes, accordingly, the root systems of the trees can conveniently breathe, and the
survival rate further can be increased.
