Abstract
Highlights: [•] Overhead, drip, and sub-irrigation were compared for irrigation efficiency on green roofs. [•] Overhead was the most favorable for water distribution and retention as well as plant health. [•] There was limited capillary movement of water for drip and sub-irrigation. [•] Sub-irrigation wasted the greatest amount of applied water. [•] Moisture retention fabric improved irrigation efficiency for drip and sub-irrigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
