What is Irrigation?

Irrigation by its simplest definition is applying water to land or soil artificially to assist in the growth and maintenance of landscapes, crops, and vegetation. It’s often used in dry areas or during dry spells to ensure the area irrigated receives the water it needs to thrive. The key to these systems is running the water close to the roots of the plants to ensure optimal absorption.

Modern irrigation technology often has rain censors to help regulate the amount of water used, so the system won’t run unless it’s needed. Studies show that this saves up to 50% of the water used by more conventional or manual methods.
