Irrigation Systems
Zoned, smart irrigation systems allow for tailored water schedules and reduced water usage during rainy periods, reducing water consumption and improving consistency compared to traditional sprinklers and hoses.
Optimal
The irrigation system is equipped with modern, water-saving technologies and is well-maintained. It operates efficiently, with no leaks or misaligned sprinkler heads, and waters at the appropriate times to minimize water waste. Water is distributed evenly, and each zone is calibrated to the needs of the plants.
Cautionary
The irrigation system is functional but shows signs of inefficiency, such as minor leaks, misaligned sprinkler heads, or outdated technology. The system may run at suboptimal times, leading to some water waste, and there may be slight overwatering or underwatering in some zones.
Hazardous / Out of Range
The irrigation system is in poor condition, with major leaks, broken components, and inefficient water use; or an irrigation system is not present, while traditional sprinkler usage may be causing significant overwatering, leading to water waste, higher bills, and potential landscape damage.
