Drip irrigation -- well much noise is made about it but it is a high maintenance method as the pores get clogged and need regular cleaning etc. and it often gets abandoned after a year or two of use plus it is difficult t lay the infrastructure each time cropping is done. However I really like your idea of using pipes with holes - simple ad practical. I think this should be implemented everywhere. Porous ceramic containers is also good. I also came across a method used somewhere in Rajasthan of underground irrigation where water seeps out of clay pots buried under ground. So no evaporation loss and roots get hydrated/ nourished in the appropriate manner.
