A system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped network in a pre-determined patter and applied as a small discharge to each plant, where drip emitters apply water slowly to the soil surface.

Imputation and derivation

Imputation

The data from the questionnaires were edited in the field during the enumeration process by supervisors in each governorate.

Derivation

Crops were coded according to the Indicative Crop Classification (ICC) for 2010. This classification was developed based on the Central Product Classification (CPC) (UN, 2004a). ICC provides only a broad-level structure for the classification of crops. Taking account of national conditions in the Palestine, some crops not included in ICC are identified separately or crops were identified in more detail than given in ICC.
