Water efficiency must be considered from the initial irrigation system design phase through installation to ensure optimal performance. Consistent management and maintenance is also essential. Failure to do so can result in losing more than 50% of irrigation water due to evaporation, wind, poor management, and/or improper system design, installation, or maintenance.
Whether installing a new irrigation system or retrofitting an old one, there are many options to improve water efficiency. Some of the best management practices for smart and efficient design of the irrigation system for maximum performance are:
- Assure overall quality of the irrigation system
- Install the irrigation system to meet the design criteria
- Maintain the irrigation system for optimum performance
- Manage the irrigation system to respond to the changing requirement for water in the landscape
A sensible balance of automation with landscape and irrigation management can result in attractive, water conserving landscapes.
