Today's irrigation systems combine different types of watering techniques that put the moisture where it is needed as efficiently as possible. Landscapes are divided into zones for efficient operation and proper watering. In a well-planned landscape, plants with similar water needs are grouped. Irrigation systems are started on paper. Draw the house and potential plantings to determine the best use of irrigation techniques.
Some study is needed to determine the output of sprinkler heads.
Also determine the radius of the spray pattern. Draw the spray heads so the watering patterns just overlap. These suggestions can help you design a water-efficient landscape. Also consult irrigation supply stores, county code enforcement departments and irrigation manuals to use water resources properly. A wide selection of sprinkler heads produces streams of water, a constant fan of water or a bubble of water.
