A way to reduce water is the drip system rather than the sprinkler system. The drip system is a more efficient way to water large trees. The drip system slowly applies water directly into the soil, so less water is used than sprinklers. Water is a scarce resource and needed to be used more efficiently. For example, the California drought, people should conserve more water for necessary activities.

I am glad you have found a solution to reduce water use by using a drip irrigation system.
The addition of talking about the proper way to water in the Las Vegas area is very important. I am glad you considered this when designing your project.
