Underground irrigation of Olive trees using Buried Diffusers. The Buried Diffuser is a new underground irrigation device which can be used for trees (fruit trees, forest trees, ornamental trees) and shrubs, vegetables in fields and in green houses, and plants in containers, pots or boxes. The main advantages of The Buried Diffuser are: Saving irrigation water, . The Ogallala is recharged primarily by rainwater, but only about one inch of precipitation actually reaches the aquifer annually. Rainfall in most of the Texas High Plains is minimal, evaporation is high, and infiltration rates are slow.
Montana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Saskatchewan, Wyoming, and North Dakota each had between , and , irrigated acres; Manitoba irrigated s acres. Most of the irrigated land in Nebraska, Texas, and Kansas relies on water from the High Plains Aquifer system. Water for farming can come from three sources: rainfall and other precipitation (rain, snow, sleet), surface water (collected in ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers), and groundwater (underground pools or aquifers). Whether for family or livestock use or for crop irrigation, many farmers and ranchers found ways to tap the underground water supply.

ABSTRACT: Cotton irrigation in the Texas High Plains (THP) is often dictated by the well capacity and not by the water needs of the crop.
