Eco Irrigation's Guidelines to Conserving Water

​

• Water soil in a way that strengthens roots. 

  • The deeper the root, the more tolerant to dryer conditions.

• Use drip irrigation. 

  • Drip irrigation is more efficient and prevents evapotranspiration.

• Incorporate compost in the soil. 

  • Adding 1 part compost for every 3 parts soil can hold over four times the amount of water than soil without compost. 

• Match the precipitation rate f0r every zone. 

  • This helps us regulate how much water is being put down.

• Separate zones efficiently.

  • Eco separates zones based on head placement, sun exposure, slope, and overall landscape differences.

• Install check valves.

  • This helps to prevent water from leaking out of sprinkler heads.

• Incorporate weather predictive irrigation controllers.

  • These affordable clocks have the power to automatically adjust watering times based on rain, wind, temperature and moisture. 

• Water at night. 

  • Watering at night prevents evapotranspiration

• Incorporate water efficient sprinkler nozzles. 

  • Simply adding these nozzles can save 30% of water use. 

• Let the grass grow. 

  • With the grass being longer, it is able to protect itself from the sun's rays.
