{{anchor|Trickle ring}}
A trickle ring is a circular device which evenly distributes water around the base of a tree or shrub.  Connected to a water supply by a garden hose or tubing adapter fitting, trickle rings may be integrated into an [[irrigation]] network which waters many plants at the same time.  By regulating the flow of water through the trickle ring, soil can be saturated at a rate which conserves water by minimizing wasteful [[surface runoff]] and losses due to evaporation.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
