Sports Turf Agronomic Management Program

Water Analysis & Irrigation Management

The purpose of a water analysis is to

show the minerals and nutrients that are

in the irrigation water. The City of Irvine

irrigates all sport fields utilizing recycled

water provided by the Irvine Ranch

Water District (IRWD). Irrigation

controller schedules are based upon the

following criteria:

 Plant Type  Soil Type  Sprinkler Type  Crop Coefficient  Sun exposure  Slope

The landscape maintenance contractor

checks and inspects all components of

the irrigation system, from the valves to

the sprinkler heads, every 14 days. City

landscape staff provide close oversite to

all contract operations. Any malfunctions

or leaks are repaired the same day.
