Water Wise In The Pines
Water Wise in the Pines is a Demand Management Program launched by Arizona Water Company for the Munds Park community.
1994 is widely recognized as the start of the current long-term drought. Since then, most of Arizona's watersheds have only had a total of 9-10 wet years and the state as a whole has experienced a decrease in annual precipitation of 0.92 inches per decade.
What is a drought? Drought is an extended period of low rain and resulting dry weather conditions. Since different regions have different baseline levels of rain, drought conditions are identified based on average precipitation levels for the region in question.
Twice a year, turn the drip system on and walk the property to inspect for leaks and malfunctions on the system.
Once a year, flush the irrigation line to clear it of any debris. Click here to find out how to do this: www.amwua.org/landscaping-with-style/maintain/irrigation-system-maintenance
Did you know that drip irrigation is one of the most water-efficient irrigation techniques? Drip irrigation can reduce overall water consumption by up to 35% compared to traditional sprinklers. This is important in our climate!![]()

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone of the plant. Correctly placed drip emitters around the drip line of the tree directly deliver water and reduce any evaporation of water before it reaches the roots of the plant. Learn more with Raluca from Arizona Water Company! #watertips
