How do I reduce runoff with sprinkler design?

Improve Water Placement

A well-planned Water Saving Sprinkler Design helps water soak into the soil instead of running off onto sidewalks or driveways. The key is to match sprinkler output to the landscape’s soil type, slope, and plant needs so the system applies water more slowly and evenly.

Practical Design Strategies

• Use matched precipitation rates so each zone applies water at a similar rate.
• Select the right nozzle type for the area, such as rotary nozzles in larger spaces or lower-flow options in tighter beds.
• Adjust head placement to avoid spraying hardscape and overshooting planting areas.
• Break up watering cycles so compacted soil can absorb water between shorter run times.
• Account for slope and soil infiltration to reduce pooling and runoff.
