Irrigation localisée par goutte à goutte. [...] Ces débits s’infiltrent quasi ponctuellement sans ruissellement apparent. L'eau diffuse dans le sol de façon tridimensionnelle, dans un volume appelé «bulbe» du fait de sa forme arrondie. Les goutteurs sont fixés sur une conduite en polyéthylène noir appelée rampe placée le long de la rangée pour les cultures fruitières, ou entre deux rangées de la culture pour les cultures maraîchères. La rampe peut être posée sur le sol, enterrée ou suspendue. Les goutteurs sont presque toujours posés sur le sol, bien qu'ils puissent être au-dessus du sol ou enterrés comme la rampe. Dans le cas où ils sont enterrés, on parle d’irrigation souterraine. Les goutteurs peuvent être remplacés par de simples perforations dans la paroi de la rampe. Ces perforations peuvent être plus ou moins petites et rapprochées. À la limite, on a une rampe poreuse dont les pores ont quelques micromètres de diamètre. Les rampes aplatissables sont appelées des gaines; celles-ci peuvent être simples ou doubles. 4, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27irrigation%20par%20goutte%20%C3%A0%20goutte
