To maintain a garden with a lawn watering it every day is a necessity. But as Raghupati stays in an area where water is to be bought to meet their daily demands, extra caution with regards to usage of water is necessary. Hence to minimize wastage, drip irrigation method can safely be used. Here water is supplied directly to the base of the plants using narrow pipes, thus reducing the loss of water. Even a watering funnel serves a good purpose.
