Reclaimed Water Conservation
- Water
only when your lawn needs it. To test if your lawn needs
watering, step on it. If the grass springs back up when
you move, it doesn't need additional watering. If it lays flat,
it does need additional watering.
- When
you do irrigate, a good soaking will help build a
deep healthy root system. Usually, 3/4 to a full inch of water
per session is sufficient.
- Be
careful not to over irrigate. Not only does it waste
water, but it also flushes nutrients (the fertilizer that you
bought) out of the root zone and into the groundwater where
it becomes a pollutant.
Reclaimed
water runoff from your lawn is also a pollutant.
- Keep
your irrigation system in good repair.
Broken or misdirected sprinkler heads will waste a lot of water.
