Steven Moore, our presenter, will discuss the significance of each component within an effective irrigation system to improve landscape water management. The presentation will begin with the principles that drive proper hydrozoning; the first vital step in irrigation design. Delivery of water to each hydrozone requires sprinkler heads with proper nozzles or drip emitters, control valves, pressure regulators, piping and controllers to work together to sustain a healthy beautiful landscape. In addition, our presenter will go over how irrigation systems operate and what parts we can upgrade or replace to improve irrigation effectiveness. Lastly, based on his thirty years of experience, he will discuss and offer solutions to typical issues with landscape irrigation systems and management.
