If your utility bill keeps rising, you might need to keep track of the amount of water your irrigation system uses. Likewise, in light of water scarcity (which affects many areas), it might be prudent to look into ways to conserve the water we use for irrigation.

• Fine-tune your Irrigation System 

Efficient water application reduces wastage. For instance, proper placement of sprinklers can ensure the planted area is uniformly irrigated. Rather than running your sprinkler longer to cover dry spots, work on ensuring accurate head spacing or alignment to improve distribution and promote efficiency. 

Also, periodic checks can let you find leaks or bottlenecks in the system that could be wasting water. In turn, timely repair of such leaks would ensure an efficient system and hopefully, reduce water usage.
