LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION REFERENCES
Internationally our focus is on golf projects and resorts. In Western Australia, the focus has been on Landscape Irrigation.
Perth's sandy coastal plain with its long (7 months), hot (up to 46 Celsius), dry (about 700 mm rain a year) means that only well designed irrigation systems will keep the plants in good condition. Wind is also a factor.
