WATER CONSERVATION
Tremendous
amounts of water are applied to lawns and gardens. In
fact, about half of residential water use is for
outdoor watering. Sadly, much of this water is never absorbed
by plants and put to use. Much of it is lost
to runoff (because it is applied to rapidly), but most
of it is lost to over-watering.
Over-watering doesn’t just lead to
water waste. Excess irrigation can leach nutrients
away from plant roots. Runoff can also carry
fertilizers and chemicals into our natural bodies of water,
polluting our dwindling natural water supplies.
Thankfully, there is a simple answer
to inefficient water use: a proper irrigation system for
your home or business. Efficient irrigation systems
protect the environment, save money, and provide optimum
growing conditions for your lawns and plants.
At Green Irrigation Solutions, we
install Weathermatic Systems with SmartLine controllers.
These weather
monitoring irrigation systems track your daily weather
conditions and adjust your watering run times accordingly.
A properly installed irrigation system,
like a Weathermatic system, will eliminate over-watering,
conserve water, and contribute to a healthier world overall.
