Low water pressure. Will sprinkler valve work?

My water pressure is less than 10 psi (7 or 8 psi). I wonder if I can run sprinkler valves without a booster pump. I read somewhere on internet that these valves need some pressure for proper operation, especially closing.

By the way, I am going to use microirrigation (drip). 7 psi can run several small emitters without a problem according to emitter manuracturer's website.

Any information would be much appreciated.
