Sustainable water management means using water in a way that meets social, economic, and ecological needs without depleting limited resources that would compromise the needs of future generations. Water is life, critical to human survival. With global population exploding from 1.5 billion to nearly 8 billion in just the last 100 years, freshwater withdrawals have […]
As daylight hours begin to wane in late Summer, trees begin preparing for the oncoming Winter at the cellular level to increase their cold tolerance. Shrinkage, sugar concentration and dehydration are happening, and their metabolism slows as they enter a state of dormancy. By mid-Winter, they reach their adapted tolerance, their cells now hardened and […]
Extreme weather events like drought, wildfires, and flooding are becoming more frequent —
leaving properties vulnerable to destruction. Luckily, using smart water management solutions
can tackle climate risk on properties to make them more sustainable and resilient.
Protect properties with these water management tips that make sites more sustainable.
Celebrate Smart Irrigation Month by learning about the many positive impacts of smart irrigation on our society, economy, and planet.
Conserving water is a key part of achieving ESG and sustainability goals. Get started with these water management strategies.
After decades of little or no effort globally to protect and conserve Earth’s most precious, finite resource, it’s more critical than ever that we do everything in our power to reduce water use to sustain life as we know it to survive and most importantly, not waste water– both indoors and out.
Winter drought effects can be quite severe, leaving trees and plants highly stressed. Pine needles turn brown and fall off, plant leaves curl up and drop off, and plant roots beneath the frozen ground surface dry out, because they can’t absorb needed moisture from soil.
In times of drought, above ground sprinklers aren’t the most efficient way to irrigate a parched landscape. Much of the spraying water will be lost through evaporation before it even hits the ground.
There are several things that can cause common irrigation pressure problems in a sprinkler system. Some of them are easy to identify and can be resolved above ground, but some problems below ground can be more serious and will likely require costly repairs.
