Water Saving Tips

Save water without sacrificing crop health

Water savings are best achieved through a combination of good system design, smart operation and regular maintenance.

Key strategies

• Use the right emitter spacing for your crop
• Keep filters clean and pressure stable
• Avoid overwatering with zone-based scheduling
• Choose efficient pipes and valves for less loss

Match crop water use

Different crops need different water quantities. Use crop-specific schedules rather than one-size-fits-all timing.

Watch pressure

Stable pressure keeps emitters working correctly. Pressure drops or spikes waste water and reduce coverage.

Prevent leaks

A small leak can waste a lot of water over days. Inspect valves, joints and pipes regularly.

Tips to save more water

• Use drip irrigation for vegetables and nursery crops.
• Group zones by crop type and watering need.
• Run irrigation during cooler hours to reduce evaporation.
• Use mulch and cover crops to retain soil moisture.

What this saves

Using the right irrigation techniques can cut water use by up to 40% while keeping your crop healthy.
