With ReWater's underground drip irrigation
system, there is no evaporation, which causes between 30% and 60% of all water
in a sprinkler system to simply vanish into thin air.
In a hot, windy area, you can expect 60% losses from sprinklers. On the
coast, at least in wind-protected areas, losses are closer to 30%. Both
are huge loss factors over time that will cost you more and more money as water
rates rise.
Sprinkler over-spray can lose another 20% of the water. The larger the perimeter
of the yard to be sprinkled, the greater the over-spray loses will be. Ornate
designs have even greater over-spray losses.
With underground drip, there are never broken sprinkler heads to replace! Broken
sprinkler heads create instant run-off and are a leading cause of commercial
water losses.
Run-off carries silt, animal feces, pesticides, and fertilizers onto adjoining property and
into waterways. Regional Water Quality Control Boards are cracking down on
this well-documented problem. With underground drip systems in place, the
surface becomes a catch basin for run-off, instead of a source of run-off.
This fact can help you cost-effectively satisfy the new run-off regulations!
