Solving California's Draught Problems
The historic drought in CA has impacted how California residents use water. It is a record breaking drought, and farmers and residents are getting desperate for water. Everything that can be done must be done. This includes conservation as everyone's responsibility. But conservation is not enough, Californians must commit to innovative water delivery systems that use every drop of water to its maximum efficiency. CA home owners can make a significant contribution to saving water by managing the water deliver to their lawns and gardens.
For homeowners with lawns, a first step should be to evaluate your existing water delivery system. Sprinkler Repair San Clemente will examine your sprinkler system to be sure that your automatic sprinkler system is fully functional. A fully efficient and functional sprinkler would prevent water loss. Problems can include a broken or leaky connector. Sprinkler systems can have broken values, or sprinkler heads and nozzles can be clogged. Whatever the damage, the connectors, sprinkler heads and nozzles must be either cleaned, repaired or replaced. Another problem is that the controller may not be working properly, and providing too much water at inappropriate times. For example, it is much more efficient to water in the early morning or late evening. During the heat of the day, water is evaporated creating water loss. Sprinkler systems can be evaluated for the evenness of water distribution. It is a problem in wasting water if there are areas of water run-off. Another problem, that wastes water, is a sprinkler system that waters the driveway or the house. In such cases, the sprinkler heads can be changed to direct water evenly over the lawn and garden. The goal of Sprinkler Repair San Clemente is to have all areas of the lawn and garden evenly watered.
Home flower and vegetable gardens can be watered using drip devices. Drip irrigation provides a very small amount of water at the roots of the plants. The water is targeted for the most efficient use of watering flowers and vegetables. Drip water only waters the plants and not the weeds. It is a great advantage in reducing weeding. Drip irrigation for the garden includes several watering devices. Spot watering emitters are good for larger plants, because they provide a high flow rate, and larger plants need more water than small plants. Medium size bushes need less water, and micro bubblers provide sufficient water for bushes. Emitter tubing is ideal for flower and vegetable gardens since such tubing can be placed to weave around the plants. The tubing can be moved as needed to water specific flowers and vegetables based on each plant's water needs.
