Low Volume Irrigation - Design and Installation Guide

A step-by-step simplified approach to designing and installing low-volume irrigation systems for residential and commercial applications.

This 24 page guide is filled with information necessary to preserve water in New Mexico xeriscapes. The proper distribution of drip lines will ensure plants utilize water before it has a chance to evaporate or percolate below the roots. One section discusses the importance of run times and the resulting gallons per hour. There is also a water budget table estimating the amount of water needed month to month. Well established trees will require little to no irrigation in the winter months. The website where this guide is found also provides other resources on xeriscaping and irrigation design.
