Historically, irrigation systems have been built to a price standard using fixed design and construct methods. The result is ongoing problems for the life of the system because a range of real world factors have not been considered.
With a range of irrigation complexities, such as variations with sites, irrigation system performance, water policies, turf quality and climate, putting faith into one piece of hardware technology will not address these range of variables. One area might enjoy adequate irrigation but another area on site will not receive enough and fail, because the technology did not meet the site variations.
Our Waterite™ services address key irrigation efficiency issues such as, water management, irrigation system quality, policies, & planning and even the financial value of your irrigation assets. And in doing so, is based upon variables to system quality, climate variation and quality in soils, vegetation and cultural practices.

WATERITE™ VOLUME MANAGEMENT (WVM)
The results are in. The opportunity is for at least 32% reduction of water use compared to traditional irrigation methods.
Alpha Testing has concluded with The City of Tea Tree Gully. Invitations are open for interested Municipalities to participate with Beta Testing.
Principles and the basis used during Alpha Testing
Waterite™ Volume Management (WVM) achieves peak watering efficiency with an irrigation system. This happens when 4 key areas are addressed for world’s best practice.
Cultural — people controlled events affect irrigation efficiency, such as knowledge, processes and procedures employed.
Operational — watering schedules and matching irrigation to actual climatic demands
Physical — the components, layout, design quality, age and field performance are of a high standard
Environmental — soil types and quality, site aspects, topography, water quality, salinity, plant species, etc. are well managed and the irrigation system layout matches these areas.
These drivers are analysed, benchmarked, addressed and prioritised to improve irrigation efficiency. They form the basis of a strategic plan that leads to best practice efficiency. Beta Testing will provide a scalable solution to ensure that this is not lost.

WATERITE IRRIGATION SYSTEM EVALUATIONS (WISE)
Know best practice water irrigation
You can only manage what you know and with water restrictions bearing down upon the irrigation of large outdoor areas, it is vital to know exactly what irrigation assets you have and how they are performing.
Waterite™ Irrigation System Evaluation (WISE) is a scientifically proven method, helping to maintain quality turf and gardens with less water. This is done in three easy and cost effective ways:
STEP 1: Evaluation, accurate positioning and listing of current irrigation assets using state-of-the-art DGPS technology.
STEP 2: Testing to gauge true irrigation system performance against established benchmarks, using precise field and computer modeling to determine the current state of your system.
STEP 3: A list of recommendations for capital planning along with projected water savings for accurate business planning.
The difference being WISE makes
You can quickly see the scalable benefits of the Waterite™ Irrigation System Evaluation. Already this system has been deployed to schools and municipalities with real and tangible benefits.
Disclaimer:
Scenario is for illustration purposes only, each situation must be properly considered and evaluated to the circumstances found on site.
Our quality partners are available to help you to become WISE
These leading suppliers of irrigation equipment, management and services are able to provide not just WISE, but also valuable expertise in other areas of irrigation.
