The National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP), a leading organization supporting landscape industry professionals through education, advocacy, and industry resources, recently published an article titled “Make Every Drop Count with Water Efficiency Practices.” The piece highlights technologies and strategies that help landscape professionals improve water efficiency while maintaining healthy, vibrant landscapes.

The article explores solutions such as smart controllers, drip irrigation, soil sensors, and pressure regulation, and features insights from Steve Barendt, senior product manager for controllers. Discussing the value of smart irrigation technology, Barendt noted that, “An irrigation system’s overall efficiency is directly tied to how well its controller is programmed and calibrated.

As water conservation continues to be a growing priority, the article reinforces the value of combining smart irrigation technology with professional expertise to support more sustainable landscape management.
