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.{{Language-box|english_link= Bucket / Farm kits and Drum systems | french_link= Kits d’irrigation agricole et systèmes à tambour | spanish_link= Coming soon | hindi_link= Coming soon | malayalam_link= Coming soon | tamil_link= Coming soon | swahili_link=coming soon | korean_link= Coming soon | chinese_link=Coming soon | indonesian_link= Coming soon | japanese_link= Coming soon }}

A ====Buckets kits====In bucket kit system comprising two 15-m long drip lines can be used to grow 50 plants such as tomatoirrigation, egg plant and similar crops requiring a spacing of 60 cm along water flows into the plant rows; 100 plants of spinach, cabbage, kale, pepper and similar plants requiring a spacing of 30 cm along the plant rows; or 300 plants of onion, carrot and similar plants requiring drip lines from a spacing of 10 cm. The standard bucket kit system consists of two drip lines reservoir placed 0.5 5–1 m apart on a bed with a width above the ground to provide the required water pressure. The efficient use of 1 m. A bucket water that is placed on possible with drip irrigation enables a stand at one end farmer to grow vegetables using 30–60 litres of water daily during the bed and connected to the drip linescrop growing season. These The average cost of a bucket kit systems can irrigate 10–20 m2, depending on the length of the drip tube and plant spacingis US$15.

The bucket should be filled once in the morning and once in the afternoon ====Farm kits====In farm kit drip irrigation, water is connected directly to a pressurized water supply 30–60 litres of . This water to supply could be pumped or gravity fed. The minimum pressure required is usually a 5-m head (0.5 bar). Water flows through a screen filter into a submain pipe then flows into the crop per daydrip lines. The actual amount of water depends irrigated area can vary from 500 m2 to more than 10,000 m2. Several small kit systems can be laid out on crop water requirements and rainfalla farm to cover a larger area. In very dry areas The drip tapes are placed on a prepared soil surface and during plants are planted near the dry season 60 litres drip outlets to receive maximum benefit. The average cost ofwater will be required per daya farm kit is US$ 200 for a system covering 500 m2.

There ====Drum systems====Drum systems operate under a low pressure head of water (0.5–5 m). Mounting the drums on block supports raised at least 1 m above the planting surface is a growing demand for bucket kitsrecommended. For example, Chapin bucket kits are reported to be in use in over 80 countries world wide and The higher the demand drum is growing fastplaced the greater the area that can be irrigated. By 2001, more than 5An area of up to 1,000 kits had been sold m2 can be covered by KARI a drum system. The main advantage of drum systems is the bigger area that can be covered compared to Kenyan farmers who have adopted the bucket drip irrigation system. It has been shown that This presents an economic advantage because of the number of plants that are watered using the bucket per drum system have higher yields.

The average cost of a bucket kit is US$15.

'''Smallholder irrigation could change the lives of millions of people'''<br>

Smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are increasingly using small-scale irrigation to cultivate their land. Individually owned and operated irrigation technologies improve yields, reduce risks associated with climate variability and increase incomes, allowing farmers to purchase food, health care and education. There is great potential for many more farmers to benefit from small-scale irrigation. This report presents governments, donors, lending institutions, the private sector and farmers with the opportunity to make well-informed decisions about investments in agricultural water management (AWM) that could change the lives of millions of rural people.
