Artificial intelligence is making it easier than ever for homeowners to participate in Smart Irrigation Month and conserve water outdoors. Today’s smart irrigation systems can be managed through mobile apps that automatically adjust watering schedules based on local weather conditions.

Observed each July, Smart Irrigation Month promotes water conservation and the efficient management of landscapes and agricultural areas.

Many smart irrigation systems combine real-time weather data with information about your landscape—such as plant types, grass varieties, sun exposure, and soil conditions—to apply the right amount of water at the right time. By automatically adjusting to changing conditions, these systems can help reduce water waste while keeping landscapes healthy.

Other smart irrigation technologies use soil moisture sensors placed in the ground to measure how much water is available to plants. These sensors help determine when irrigation is needed and how much water should be applied to specific zones.

Because every landscape has unique watering needs, it’s important to choose and maintain an irrigation system that fits your property. Certified landscape professionals can help design, install and maintain irrigation systems that maximize efficiency and support long-term water conservation.
