Is understanding the defined water policies
and regulations for your area; then by planning, developing and
distributing your water resources for optimum results. Our
company can help property owners grasp control of all stages of
the water management from the initial stages of planning to
routine maintenance.
Policies and Regulations -
from Federal/State/Local governmental agencies these laws, statutes
and ordinances change regularly. They can differ by the type of
property (residential, commercial or agricultural), and their water
use (IE. gallons of water available for use each day, application
periods, weather conditions, etc.).
Water Use History and Studies
- from a combined effort of the property owner and local agencies;
past water bills are gathered, or well log information is obtained,
as well as pumping information is collected. This data is then
combined with information collected from a
system evaluation, to
determine past and future water use.
Water Efficient Irrigation Products
- the majority of irrigation systems are utilizing basic water
delivery methods. These methods and products do deliver water but
they are limited to there design; manufacturer's have recognized
this over the past couple of decades and have developed tools and
products that can be from 5-60% more efficient. Examples of these
products are:
Pressure Regulating Devices
- 6-8% reduction for every 5 psi lowered (IE. 60 psi operating
system lowered to 30 psi for a spray or mister head is a water
savings of 36 to 48%).
High Efficiency Nozzles
- 25%+ reduction for providing uniformed distribution and by
reducing over-spray.
Weather-Based Control
Systems - 20-50% reduction in water use due to
automatic adjustments, with the irrigation schedules based on
climatic and environmental conditions.
Central Control Systems
- 25-45% reduction in water use depending on current water
management practices.
Direct Plant Root Watering
- 30-50% less water used by applying water directly to the plant
roots.
Automatic Shut-Off Devices
- 10-15% just for not watering on days when it is raining.
Routine Site Inspections -
can identify problem areas before they become larger and repairs
become more costly.
