Lawn Sprinklers and Water Conservation

With the summer already upon us, conservation of water and reducing water bills is on everyone's agenda. The easiest way to bring down water consumption in each household is to decrease the amount of water used for lawn irrigation.

To save water during lawn irrigation one has to know his/her lawn's watering/maintenance needs and provide only that amount of water that is sufficient. To ensure that you save as much water as possible through your lawn watering practices and have a healthy, environmentally friendly lawn to boast of, here are some handy water conservation tips:

Water should be given at the right time.

To bring down water loss due to evaporation, it is advisable to water your lawn either in the early morning or the late evening. This will enable you to avoid peak temperatures, when water loss is greatest. Another good idea is to check with your neighbors and other local residents to find out how often they are watering their lawns. If you are living in a drought-prone area, you may also have to comply with tight watering restrictions, which allow lawn irrigation only one day per week or two days per week and even have restrictive timings to be followed.

Set your timers.

To ensure your lawn is getting just the amount of water it needs, it is necessary to set your lawn sprinkler timer according to a well-thought out watering schedule. While doing this, you must give due weight to the amount of typical rainfall in your area.
