Drought Solutions
Smart irrigation is more than smart nozzles, micro irrigation, and weather sensing controllers. It’s preparing the season before and knowing your soil. It’s applying soil surfactants that reduce runoff and water use. It’s understanding best practices for water conservation and applying them based on the needs of the site. At Horizon, we believe that every month should be treated as Smart Irrigation Month. So, where do you start your practice of Smart Irrigation? Right here. As an EPA WaterSense Distribution Partner, Horizon Distributors is devoted to keeping you at the forefront of the water conservation movement. We've developed a number of resources and solutions to help you educate your organization and your customers about smart watering practices.
