Conservation is a big deal today.

It’s a big deal because natural resources are limited, because it’s an easy way to save money and because smart irrigation management actually gives us beautiful landscapes.

Outdoor irrigation usually accounts for more than 50 percent of household water use, which makes outdoor water conservation really important.

But for lush lawn lovers, it’s painful to give up traditional irrigation. And, those who live with neighborhood covenants and restrictions sometimes feel pressured to irrigate more.

And, you can still follow water restrictions and use too much.

So, it’s time for alternatives.
