Smart Irrigation
“Smart” irrigation systems control the timing of the watering cycles based on soil moisture content, weather conditions and breaks in the pipes that supply the water to the planting areas. It also means using low flow non-spray (e.g., drip emitters or bubbler heads) or micro-spray sprinkler heads instead of larger spray heads whenever possible. The control systems can be programmed to irrigate the planting areas for specified lengths of time that can be changed with the seasons, so the water cycle is appropriate for the time of year.
