Irrigation for a Growing World
Author     :  Rain Bird
Company :  Rain Bird
Most of the world`s water problems arise from a basic conflict: the global water supply is fixed, while the world population and its water consumption is growing. Despite many earlier alarms, this issue is finally gaining the attention of the general public. There are many options available to address water scarcity. This paper focuses on conservation through the use of water-efficient irrigation as one of the most practical options. From watering in the earlier morning hours to the use of advanced computerized controls, sensors and climate adjustment technologies, water-efficient irrigation methods have the potential to significantly decrease the amount of water used in agriculture and landscape applications while maintaining healthy landscapes and abundant crops.
