Microirrigation the Next Big Thing

Sprinkler watering the lawn

July 20,2018

Ridgewood NJ, July is #SmartIrrigationMonth. If you have you been thinking about installing a dripline system? Check out the article below to start saving money and water. #WaterConservation #Sustainability

Microirrigation is a low-pressure, low-flow-rate type of irrigation that can reduce the likelihood of overwatering a landscape. This form of irrigation delivers water directly to where it is needed most-the root zone of plants. It also delivers the water slowly and over a longer period of time, preventing runoff and reducing evaporation. Microirrigation systems use 20 to 50 percent less water than conventional sprinkler systems and can reduce residential or commercial landscape irrigation water use.
WaterSense has developed two guides to help irrigation professionals and homeowners understand the benefits of microirrigation. The guides also provide design, installation, and maintenance tips, which are the keys to an efficient irrigation system.

Adding Microirrigation to Your Services: A Mini-Guide for Irrigation Professionals(16 pp, 8 MB, About PDF) explains how designing, installing, or retrofitting an existing system with microirrigation can help your customers save water and enhance plant health.

Saving Water With Microirrigation: A Homeowner’s Guide(8 pp, 9 MB, About PDF) describes the types of landscapes where microirrigation works best and suggests how to work with an irrigation professional to design and install a system.
