DO IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SAVE WATER?

An irrigation system is a wonderful investment! It truly takes all the hassle out of watering your garden.  It’s incredibly convenient for sure.  However, you may be wondering if irrigation systems save water.  Let’s take a look at this now.

Yes, an irrigation system can help you save water. 

An irrigation system can help you save water in the following ways:

  • It ensures that the right amount of water reaches the plants without waste or excess spray.
  • Installing a rain sensor means that you can make certain that you don’t water your garden on rainy days.
  • The irrigation timer allows you to program your system so that it will switch on early in the morning or in the evening.  These are optimal times for watering; you won’t lose any water due to evaporation.
  • Using drip irrigation ensures that the water goes directly to the roots of your plants and is not wasted.

Those of us who live in Cape Town are so aware of saving water since the terrible drought of 2015/2016.  We are all looking at ways to save water and keep our dam levels good.

Now you can have peace of mind that irrigation systems do save water. 

Another option for saving water is to consider drilling a borehole.  This will help take the pressure off our dams. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of a borehole.
