Abstract: The pattern of soil water movement under subsurface drip irrigation was analyzed, parameters for subsurface drip irrigation, for instance, buried depth, spacing, limited length, water flux of the laterals and operating pressure of subsurface drip irrigation were discussed. Some key points for the study on subsurface drip irrigation, such as comprehensive study on the parameters of subsurface drip irrigation, and water movement in soil, especially optimizing irrigation parameters, were pointed out.
