Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Municipal green spaces need to remain healthy and well maintained, even during dry periods. A well-thought-out irrigation solution saves water, reduces manual maintenance and ensures even plant growth. Particularly in cities, a well-irrigated environment increases people's sense of well-being.
Drip irrigation systems, pop-up sprinklers and soil moisture sensors are often used for urban green spaces. These techniques optimize the amount of water and prevent plants from being over- or underwatered. Especially in times of climate change, efficient green space development is becoming increasingly important.

Municipal green spaces: significance and challenges
Urban green spaces play a central role in urban development and design. Well-designed green spaces promote social activities and create meeting places that improve people's quality of life and health. They not only provide valuable living space for plants and animals, but also important recreational space for people. However, in times of climate change, cities and municipalities face the challenge of sustainably maintaining and irrigating these green spaces.
One of the biggest challenges is the efficient irrigation of green spaces. Especially in dry periods, it is crucial to find sustainable irrigation solutions to maintain the vitality of plants. The use of rainwater or the implementation of modern irrigation systems that minimize water consumption can provide a solution.
Another problem is financing the maintenance and upkeep of green spaces. Municipalities often have to weigh up various priorities, and financing urban green spaces can take a back seat. However, it is essential that the importance of municipal green spaces be recognized and that appropriate investments be made. Only in this way can cities and municipalities preserve their green spaces as valuable habitats for all species and as recreational areas for people. This issue is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of climate change.
Sustainable irrigation solutions
Sustainable irrigation solutions are an essential part of maintaining urban green spaces. There are various approaches to minimizing water consumption while ensuring the health of green spaces.
One effective method is to use rainwater. By installing rainwater tanks or implementing rainwater collection systems, collected rainwater can be used for irrigation. This not only reduces the consumption of drinking water, but also conserves natural resources.
Another approach is to implement irrigation systems that optimize water use. Drip irrigation systems and irrigation sensors are particularly effective here. They ensure that water is delivered in a targeted and needs-based manner, avoiding both over- and underwatering.
It is important that these sustainable irrigation solutions are adapted to the specific needs of the respective green spaces. Expert advice can help you find the best systems and procedures for your individual requirements, thus optimizing the maintenance of your green spaces.
Planning and product selection for municipal irrigation
Well-planned irrigation begins with the right planning in every community. Take into account the size of the area, the type of planting and the regional precipitation levels. The DVS irrigation planner helps you to include all important factors in your planning.
The best solutions for municipal green spaces:
- Drip irrigation systems for beds and urban plantings.
- Pop-up sprinklers for sports fields and large lawns.
- Automatic control systems for efficient water use that conserves resources.
In addition, there are special methods for optimizing water distribution in municipal areas. This reduces irrigation costs and increases efficiency.
Installation and operation of an irrigation system for green spaces
With the Plug&Rain® system, installation is quick and easy. This is how you proceed:
- Plan the pipe routing based on the area and water sources.
- Lay the main pipes and install the sprinklers or drip hoses.
- Connect to a smart controller to regulate the amount of water.
- Test run and adjust the settings.
Regular maintenance and adaptation to climatic changes will keep your irrigation system efficient and sustainable in the long term. The right care also increases the lifespan of all components.
