The ROI on efficient irrigation is real and significant
Efficient irrigation systems and practices dramatically reduce the 50% of landscape water currently lost or wasted due to consumer misapplication, evaporation and wind.
Efficient irrigation conserves water and can mitigate the effects of drought, which causes economic losses of $6 to $8 billion annually.
Farmers can reduce water usage by 35% or more by converting from flood irrigation to sprinkler or drip irrigation.
A 10% improvement in agricultural water-use efficiency would reduce irrigation pump fuel consumption, saving up to 80 million gallons of diesel fuel and $240 million per year nationwide
