How to reduce water waste in residential irrigation with efficient solutions

On World Water Day, we want to reflect on the enormous amount of water that is wasted every day and how efficient irrigation can reduce waste.

Water wastage is reaching exorbitant figures. Just think of the water losses in Italian networks equal to 42.4% in 2022, or the inefficient consumption of water for domestic use.

Fortunately, there are efficient solutions for residential irrigation to irrigate in a more sustainable way, allowing for a reduction in waste and optimisation of the use of resources.

Automatic irrigation: an opportunity to save water

Traditional irrigation, using manual systems, is one of the main causes of water wastage, as the water is distributed without taking into account the real needs of the lawn and vegetation, the weather conditions or the absorption capacity of the soil. This leads to excessive water consumption, resulting in unpleasant consequences for the garden, the wallet and, last but not least, the environment.

The transition from a manual to an automatic system is a fundamental first step towards optimising residential irrigation. An automatic system offers the advantage of being programmed to operate at the best times and in the right quantities, minimising evaporation and improving the efficiency of the system.

Connected irrigation: the future of sustainable irrigation

Advances in technology have made remote control of irrigation systems possible, allowing you to monitor and manage water delivery from anywhere, in real time. Solutions such as Nuvola Mini WiFi Vision allow you to manage a Bluetooth controller via an Internet connection, optimising water use and the time spent managing the system. Furthermore, to further reduce waste, you can opt for a device such as Smartizer, which allows you to intervene remotely even on systems controlled by very old 24V controllers, and therefore not smart per se.

Smart irrigation: the ultimate solution

Combining smart irrigation tools, such as green charging or Bluetooth rain sensors, takes irrigation to the next level. These accessories not only reduce energy and water consumption by 50%, but also help to reduce the time and budget needed to manage the system. These solutions offer maximum flexibility and sustainability, adapting perfectly to residential needs.

Why it is essential to invest in sustainable irrigation

Adopting sustainable irrigation solutions is not only an ecological choice to reduce water waste. It also allows you to reduce consumption and energy costs, as well as to better manage the time dedicated to installation and maintenance rounds.

In an era of water scarcity caused by climate change, optimising water use is a top priority.
