Protecting your landscape investment
Irrigation systems are an effective way to protect your landscape investment, simultaneously conserving water and saving your time. With advanced technology and methods emerging, more and more homeowners are waking up to the benefits of irrigation systems. They are also attaining popularity because they help considerably in bringing down one's water bill and reducing wasteful run-off.
The Irrigation Association having declared July as "Smart Irrigation Month" to raise awareness about the need for water conservation and provide tips on maintaining your landscape/lawn in the most water-efficient manner. If you want to conserve water used in irrigation, the key lies in applying just enough water and only when necessary. For doing this, it is best to utilize an water efficient automatic irrigation system. This will not only save time but also reduce your water bill substantially.
Here are some water-saving tips, that will enable you to get the most benefits out of your lawn sprinkler system:
- 1) Adapt your watering schedule to the weather and the season. Learn about the various settings on your irrigation system controller and adjust the watering schedule religiously in accordance with the weather conditions.
- 2) Schedule each individual zone in your landscape according to the kind of plants it contains. "Scheduling" would take into account the type of sprinkler, total sun/shade exposure and the soil and plant types.
- 3) Inspect your irrigation system regularly. Get an irrigation expert to check your irrigation system for leaks, broken heads, and other sprinkler problems.
- 4) Adjust sprinkler heads. Incorrect positioning of sprinkler heads, would result in uneven distribution of water. Precious water may be wasted on pavements or other structures.
- 5) Consider "smart" technology. Climate or soil moisture sensor-based systems are a great idea because they can judge current weather and soil conditions and accordingly adjust the irrigation schedule.
- 6) Install a rain shutoff-switch. This smart device turns off the irrigation system during rainy weather, saving money for you.
- 7) Opt for drip irrigation systems for plant beds. You can also go in for micro irrigation for gardens, trees and shrubs.
- 8) Water when the heat is not at its peak e.g. when the sun is low, winds are calm and temperatures are cool. This will counter the effects of evaporation and run-off.
