A good landscape design will serve a great role towards increasing the value of any real estate property. The current efforts to put in place water conservation policies are aimed at getting rid of designs with a careless distribution of landscaping sprinklers that lead to wastage of the scarce resource. The biggest challenge for the designer is to understand and apply the hydraulics of the water to be used for irrigation.
Initially, the static pressure of the fluid in the reservoir being utilized must be determined before the designer starts his calculations. Though it is tempting to assume the anticipated values, this approach may lead to design errors that have a negative impact on the system performance. The plan should try to make allowances for fluctuations in pressure values all year round or in the near future when the existing supply will be shared among more premises.
Choose landscaping sprinklers based on the land size as well as the available resources. Large open fields will be best irrigated with the aid of rotating varieties that have a wide throw radius. The only shortcoming with these installations arises when conducting maintenance as they have to be detached ad moved about. Popup sprinklers eliminate this problem because they are flush with the ground when off and cannot be ruined by mowers.
Sprayer models cover less space but are associated with low operating pressures and reduced flow rates. Bubblers are a popular choice where long throw sprinklers would be obstructed by bigger vegetation such as trees. Delicate crops such as young shrubs are best irrigated with the aid of dripline and drip emitters. One of the most common errors in watering is applying at a rapid rate that leads to runoff.
Runoff leads to wastage of agrochemicals that you may have added to the top soil as a dressing. Evaporative losses will arise if you water around midday or if your sprayer delivers the fluid in a very fine mist that is carried away by the wind. Leaving your fields wet in the night may expose some plant species to diseases. The recommended option is to do it in the morning as the plant absorption rate grows progressively from there on.
Operation valves must be situated within easy reach by the operator. Underground valves have to be encased in special covered boxes that can be opened for servicing. In case manual valves are installed, consider fitting them in a manner that will allow the operator to work them without getting doused by the working sprinkler.
A single lateral conduit that is to serve a number of sprinklers should be fed from the midpoint to support uniform flow. You could save on the water bill by harvesting rainwater into a reservoir on your premises. All designers must adapt their work to the anticipated irrigation times.
Most golf courses have to be irrigated at night to avoid disrupting business the next day. The water window is a description of the watering times and is bound to differ with the applications. Landscaping sprinklers designing is an engaging activity that has to involve topology, flora and human element studies.
