Watering a property with an irrigation system typically is the best way to provide the right amount of water and to prevent excessive use of water. With sufficient irrigation, grass, flower gardens, trees and shrubs all thrive. Rain Link Inc. can install a sprinkler system that keeps plants adequately hydrated and also is effective for water conservation in Wichita, KS. If a property owner’s sprinkler system ever breaks down, trained and experienced technicians can make prompt and affordable repairs to the system. In addition, if the property owner ever makes extensive changes to landscaping or adds a garden shed, patio, deck or other structure, irrigation technicians are available to evaluate the new property design and make advisable changes to the sprinkler system. A homeowner probably does not want water sprayed on the deck during the morning yard irrigation, for example.
Water conservation in Wichita, KS is particularly important as the area was considered to be in an abnormally dry state in early 2014 despite some significant rainfall in 2013 and good snowfall in the winter. Much of the rest of Kansas is in a similar condition. Fortunately, the drought condition Kansas had suffered through during the previous two years appears to be reversing, but conditions are still drier than normal. In fact, at one point in 2013, Wichita’s main water source was at less than 60 percent capacity. When spring arrives and homeowners are ready to begin watering their lawns again, they should take into account these dry conditions if the situation has not yet been resolved.
Homeowners who water their lawns with a sprinkler they have set up in the yard have a tendency to use too much water. Sprayers and oscillating sprinklers are commonly left on longer than is necessary to hydrate the grass and other plants. In addition, the strategy can be ineffective for reaching all parts of the yard, leading to dry patches in some areas and over-watered patches in other areas. An automated sprinkler system installed by professional irrigation technicians is a better option. This irrigation system effectively saturates the yard in the early morning, which decreases evaporation and helps roots grow deeper into the Earth.
