As communities in the Northeastern part of the United States are dealing with excessive amounts of rainfall, nothing can be farther than the truth here in North Carolina. The low pressure system up there is seemingly relentless with the amounts of rain it has blanketed the area with.
Between sub-tropical bands of moisture and that unyielding storm track, the Northeast is dealing with the opposite problem North Carolina is experiencing.
55% of North Carolina is now experiencing an extreme drought. We need rain, and we need it now.
Conserva Irrigation of Lake Norman is continually monitoring the situation and is committed to sharing the best possible information with you.
Weather updates by various water monitoring factions surrounding Lake Norman and officials have issued a strong warning. Water departments surrounding Lake Norman are saying that we are in the most severe drought in two decades.
With these heavy restrictions in place on water usage, irrigated landscapes will not be lush and vibrant but they will survive without being stressed. The latter is important because, without using our best Smart Irrigation techniques, stressing the plant will impact its longevity.

The million dollar question: How can we lessen our dependence on water for irrigation?
Your answer can be found in three words: Conserva Smart Irrigation.
By using the most advanced water distribution systems for both sprinklers and drip lines, Conserva Irrigation was founded to use water only when it’s needed.
With both city and lake water restrictions now in place, this is when Conserva Irrigation truly shines. With our Smart Irrigation systems, it’s easy to maintain healthy vegetation with one inch or less of water per week.
We show our clients how to avoid nozzles that atomize water. Our efficiency protocol focuses on:
• Cycle and soak.
• Operational times of the day.
• Proper use of our Smart Controller.
Together, we can help solve the crying need for water you may be experiencing.
How Conserva Irrigation systems make drought water restrictions easy through Smart Irrigation
Being compliant with local water restrictions is a key part of why we founded Conserva Irrigation in the first place. Let’s face it, wasting water unnecessarily is sinful – if not illegal.
You can help save our planet’s natural precious resource of water and still have a stunning landscape with Smart Lawn Irrigation.
It runs automatically when your landscape needs water. It’s truly “set it and forget it.” Three key devices enable that to happen without you having to worry about it:
• Our Smart Irrigation controller
• Our Weather Sensor
• Our Soil Sensor
They talk to each other to ensure that your vegetation gets only the water it needs.
What else you can do to conserve water at your home?
1. Only water your lawn and landscape in the very early morning and later in the evening. Mid-day sun is the biggest villain here.
2. Only water a maximum of two days a week.
3. Keep the water on the vegetation and do not waste it on hosing down sidewalks and driveways.
4. If you’re noticing any water leaks, have them repaired as soon as possible.
5. If your car is impacted by pollen and debris, use a car wash enterprise that recycles water, such as Autobell or Sam’s Xpress.
