In bucket kit drip irrigation, water flows into the drip lines from a bucket reservoir placed 0.5–1 m above the ground to provide the required water pressure. The efficient use of water that is possible with drip irrigation enables a farmer to grow vegetables using 30–60 litres of water daily during the crop growing season. The average cost of a bucket kit is US$15.
