Amount of Water for young trees

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>I have a small grove of young olive trees. Where I live in California, water
is expensive so I set them up with a drip irrigation system. The question I
have is how often and much should I be watering the trees? The trees are
about 5 feet high and are in the ground for a year and a half. Currently I
have two 2 gallon per hour drippers on each tree. They are watered for 1
hour once every 5 days. Is this enough water? The soil is mostly clay with
some rocks.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Scott
