Headingley Carnegie Stadium, home of Leeds Rhinos rugby club, has seen big water savings since investing in an intuitive control system coupled with wireless soil sensors


Like any other aspect of irrigation technology, sprinklers have evolved too. By using modern sprinklers that have nozzle options and adjustment capabilities, water can be applied exactly where it is needed. You’d be surprised by how much updating old sprinklers to new can contribute to water use reduction and improve turf condition. Even just replacing ageing heads can have surprising results.


3) PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE


Another simple way that water can be saved is by routinely maintaining sprinklers. Checking that controller data matches sprinkler setup in the field can make a huge difference to the accuracy of an irrigation system. It sounds obvious, but I’ve seen countless systems that


are not properly synced up to sprinklers. Also, inspecting arcs to ensure application area is correct will guarantee that water is distributed exactly where it is intended to go. These two small additions to your regular maintenance schedule will go some way towards saving all- important water. Know-how, assisted by innovative technology,


scheduled system checks, frequent and thorough irrigation maintenance routines, all add up to more control over water usage. And, of course, the advantages of using water more efficiently are great: it is more environmentally friendly, plants are healthier, surfaces are more aesthetically pleasing, playability is improved, and it will likely save a lot of money too!


As you can see, applying just the right


amount of water is a no-brainer. Every drop counts, and every drop saved benefits you, the players, visitors and the environment.”
