Plan an efficient watering system
Design your watering system after planning all the zones, plants and
hardscapes. An efficient irrigation system applies the right amount of
water to the right place at the right time.

• Simple bed and lawn shapes will make installation of the system
easier.
• Design your watering system to match your plan’s water use zones.
• Use separate irrigation valves for each water use zone so individual
scheduling is possible.
• Do make sure that the sprinklers do not apply water faster than the
soil’s ability to absorb it.
• When designing a watering system on a slope, install check valves
before sprinklers at the lowest point of a row of sprinklers to reduce
puddling, or buy sprinklers with built-in check valves.
• Sprinklers are best used for lawns and larger, high-water-use areas.
They should apply water slowly and with uniform coverage, heads
should be placed so that the water from one sprinkler reaches the
adjacent heads, called head-to-head coverage.
• Drip systems apply water slowly and directly to the root zone and
efficiently water trees, shrubs, ground covers and containers. Filters
and pressure reduction valves are often required.


Need help with installing a system?
Consult nursery personnel, landscape designers, landscape contractors
or a landscape architect. Ask for referrals from friends and neighbours.
Ensure the person designing the system is an Irrigation Association of
Australia (I.A.A.) member.

Cover up and conserve
• Outdoor living and family fun are greatly enhanced by having a
swimming pool in the garden during our long, hot summers. Although
it is a worthwhile investment, it does tend to be a heavy water-user.
One of the most vital ways to conserve your swimming pool water is
to place a cover over it to prevent water loss through evaporation.

• Another way to use water wisely is to fill your pool only when
necessary and when you do, consider using a timer on your tap.
A forgotten hose can waste about 1000 litres of water per hour.

Choose your plants
Water wise gardens focus on plant varieties that thrive with little water.
However, no plant is ‘wrong’ in a water wise garden – it just needs to
be in the right zone to use water the most efficiently. You can select
exotic as well as indigenous plants, so long as you plant them in the
appropriate zone. Visit your local nursery to see which plants will be
appropriate for the water use zones you have planned.
There are also many beautiful plants, which are naturally drought-
resistant and require little watering once established.
Keep in mind your water-use zones and plants’ individual water, sun and
soil needs when selecting plants.

Here is a few examples of plants that will thrive within the
different soil types:
Sandy Soils:
• Sticky Hop Bush Dodonea viscosa
• Water Bush Myoporum montanum
• Coastal Rosemary Westringia Wynyabbie Gem
• Matt Rush Lomandra longifolia
• Coastal Banksia Banksia integrifolia
Loam Soils:
• Bush Cherry Syzygium paniculatum
• Tuckeroo Cupaniopsis anacardioides
• Midgenberry Austromyrtus dulcis
• Tulipwood Harpullia pendula

Clay Soils:

• She Oak Casuarina cunninghamiana
• Brisbane Wattle Acacia fimbriata
• Swamp Banksia Banksia robur

It pays to know when, how much and how often to water your plants.
A flexible watering schedule can save water and money by adjusting to
changing weather conditions. Your watering schedule can also help
prevent runoff, encourage deep root growth, and better meet plants’
changing needs.

Water at the right time
• Avoid watering on windy days, as evaporation rates are high.
• Water at a cool time of the day to reduce evaporation – evening or
early morning. Watering in the morning decreases the chance of
mildew. Water deeply but less often
• Automatic systems can be set to water before dawn, when Deep soakings encourage roots to utilize moisture deep in the ground
evaporation is at its lowest. and enable plants to thrive between waterings.
• Water less often in cool weather and more frequently in hot weather.
Allow water to reach the expected root depth – about 20cm deep for
• When good rains fall, stop watering for a few days – except where lawn and about 60cm – 90cm for trees and shrubs. A soil probe or
roof overhang has prevented plants from benefiting from the rain. moisture meter may be used to determine water penetration and soil
moisture content. Record the total time required for water to reach this
depth.

Before watering again, let the top few centimeters of soil dry out. Then
water again for the same amount of time.

When watering your lawn make sure your lawn can absorb all the
water it needs, divide your total watering time into 2 to 3 cycles. For
example, if your lawn requires 15 minutes of watering, don’t water once
for 15 minutes, instead, water three times for five minutes each.


HOW MUCH WATER IS NEEDED WILL DEPEND ON YOUR SOIL TYPE:

SOIL TYPE WATERING CONSIDERATIONS

Sand Apply water faster and more often

Loam Apply water at a moderate rate but less often than for sandy soil.

Clay Apply water slowly and infrequently. If you have heavy clay soil,
consider adding compost to improve drainage and aeration.

Watering on a slope
It is vital to create basins around the plants for water catchment. If
possible, terrace the slope to maximise water holding and reduce runoff.

• Use shorter watering times to avoid runoff, add another watering cycle
if necessary.
• Consider planting a groundcover on the slope instead of lawn.
• Use drip or rotor spray sprinklers on slopes.


4 Maintain Your WaterWise Garden
A small amount of regular maintenance throughout the year is all your Weeding Tips

• Pull out stubborn weeds when the soil is damp – it is easier.

they will have a less dramatic effect on the soil structure.
• Raise the cutting height of your mower by 25 to 50 percent as the

deeper roots and shades the soil better.
