An overview:

To put the right amount of water on a landscape is time-consuming and sophisticated; and irrigation controllers are difficult to program and reprogram. As trend goes almost all of the new housing developments are putting in grass and a lot of people are over watering them for better results. And that is the reason for the faster growth of demand for water than the supply. Recent surveys conducted have shown that approximately 65 percent of the city's water is used outdoors for watering and it is very much important to concentrate on reducing that percentage. In these regard sprinklers not only minimize the problem of over watering but also is effective in reducing the usage of herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and fecal matter that run from yards into storm drains and, ultimately into the local waterways.

Lawn sprinklers and their role in saving water:

According to a recent survey conducted by the United Nations alone in the United States over the next twenty years the supply of fresh water per-person will decline by 1/3. The reason for this is very simple and it is centered around the fact of a limited supply, coupled with growing demand, is putting increased stress on global water sources. One of the best things to reduce water wastage is to effectively control the non-essential uses of water mainly for gardening purposes. Installation of an automatic lawn sprinklers is on of the most easiest things to do and it can really turn a yard into a wonderful, water-saving, space that one can enjoy and feel good about. It has been observed that hand watering, and hose-end sprinkler watering is very inefficient not only in terms of its coverage area, but generally one can end up watering at the worst possible times of day, wasting up to half of the water applied, either through run-off, or evaporation also. However installing a lawn sprinkler is not the only task. One has to know how to use it, and that means understanding the plants that are using it on, as well as, the area in which it is being used.
