Those steep slopes are an asset to a three or four pounds per square inch gravity fed system. In such a system you need some sort of water storage that produces that gravity feed. I use two barrels on an eight foot tower. From them comes the hundred and ten gallons of water at three or four pounds gavity to drip lines off a number of main lines. Various valves in line control where the water goes and for how long. A fill valve for the barrels would be nice. I have just never gone to that extent. I crawl the ladder to change the fill line between barrels. Good enough for me without all the bells and whistles. I can deliver one hundred and ten gallons to my patches in twenty minutes without any difficulty.
My well water pump will refill the barrels in about the same amount of time.

My system components were purchased from Dripworks of California. They are on line and have or are the source for the only tested T-Tape drip lines. Everything is in that catalog including much design help. If you follow their instructions there is no charge for design supervision and suggestion. There are other sources that may have good help available. I run with these folks because they have helped me and some friends consistantly and correctly.
