Water conservation begins with a basic understanding of plant requirements and available technology. Plants require a good topsoil that has a good depth to it of at least 12 inches. This allows a large fast growing root system that can access water during periods of drought. The technology part helps because it can shut the system down automatically if a pipe or sprinkler breaks. The system also monitors weather reports and can adjust your program automatically based on the forecast. Rain sensors shut down the system if rain exceeds a programed amount. These advanced systems will become mandatory in the near future. The state of California has already committed to this and requires all households and businesses to comply by a deadline in the next year or so. These weather station controlled systems will become the norm and are available now on request.
Irrigation should be designed for plants by plant people
Hopefully your irrigation company has an on staff horticulturist to create the programs for your property based on plant specific water requirements as well as soil moisture holding ability. We wonder how anyone could accurately decide upon water requirements without an extensive knowledge of plants and soils?
