Are designed to cover

Sprinklers should only irrigate the area that they are designed to cover because this ensures efficient water application and reduces waste. Each sprinkler is engineered with specific arc patterns, radius, and distribution characteristics that optimize coverage. When irrigation systems are properly designed, they consider factors such as the type of vegetation, soil characteristics, and the specific watering needs of the landscape. This design maximizes water use efficiency and promotes healthy plant growth.

The focus on the area intended for coverage also minimizes the risk of overwatering or underwatering specific sections, leading to healthier landscapes and conserving water. In contrast, the reach of the sprinkler, how they are aimed, or the presence of leaks may not necessarily align with the intended coverage area as designed, which can lead to inefficiencies and poor irrigation practices.
