Why Is Water Conservation Important for Commercial Landscaping?
With MPR Supply’s innovative irrigation products and systems from the leading manufacturers, we can help explain and prove to you why water conservation is so important. Here are a few reasons as to “why is water conservation important?”
- Self-monitoring systems allow you to control the exact amount of water used in your commercial landscaping project. When you control water usage, you can reduce your overall operating costs and reduce electrical usage, thus saving your business money every month.
- Rain sensors, weather stations and lightning detectors allow you to get control over the entire water usage in your commercial irrigation landscaping. Sensor allow automatic adjustments in the amount of water used throughout the system and weather stations and lightning detectors at your local give your employees and visitors added safety, but they also allow emergency or automatic shut-down of the system avoiding damage from electrical strikes.
- Timer systems, computer controls, allow you to water your greens in off-peak usage time periods, thus allowing you to water when kilowatt hours are cheaper and to provide water to plans when needed and not during the heat of the day when much of the water will evaporate.
- Freeze sensors allow you to automatically shutdown expensive systems that may have piping ruptures do to water freezing in the system.
- Reduce your overall water usage as an environmentally friendly benefit. Wasting water can be very expensive in some areas that are prone to drought.
- Comply with local ordinances and avoid fines – use only the water you need.
- Water conservation and computer controls allow you to set “zone controls” for various areas of commercial greens. If you have cacti in one area and tropical plants in another, they need different amounts of water to stay healthy, conserving water usage can keep your foliage and grasses at optimal health.
