Competency B3: Residential Irrigation Systems

Landscaping is an important aspect of any residential site and maintaining the health and appearance of lawns and shrubs can be challenging. Overwatering and forgetting to water are the common results of manually caring for their needs. An automatically operating irrigation system not only ensures that lawns and shrubs get as close to the exact amount of water they need, but it can save water in doing so. Water conservation should be a priority not only for ecological reasons but at the very least, it should be recognized that wasted water wastes money. This learning guide will take you through the considerations that should be addressed in the process of designing and installing a residential automatic irrigation system.
