Hydroponics Nutrient Solution Delivery Methodologies!
The selection of drip, mist, sub-irrigation, and other water-saving horticultural equipment available has grown at an incredibly rapid pace in recent years it seems.
Many (in fact, an increasingly massive plethora of) different types of drippers are available commercially, as well as innumerable styles of misters, atomizers, sprayers, seepers, sweaters, foggers, diffusers, gushers, and the like.
Here are a few links from our virtual cornucopia:

Some water delivery apparatus such as the aforementioned drippers, etc. that can enable incredible water efficiency may also have the tendency to be troublesome because of the practically inevitable clogging that can occur in certain cases due to salt buildup or foreign material or algae. Some innovative types allow for regular preventative maintenance (PM) such as cleaning that can allow for more control over a regular, more uniform flow rate. Many sorts also require that high pressures or gallons per hour (GPH) criteria have to be met in order to assure proper functioning.
People have been known to make their own "drip-line" using plastic tubes and a drilling machine.
New developments on the field include the introduction of such devices as ultrasonic transducer atomizers, micro-tubules, semi-porous membranes among many others.
