IRRIGATION MASTER PLANNING
In today’s world of water scarcity, it is important to understand a project’s irrigation demand and complexities surrounding the water agency approval process.
The backbone for any successful landscape design is a properly designed irrigation system. BGB has been at the forefront in providing their clients with demand analysis for irrigation infrastructure planning.
WATER MATTERS
“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.”

Water distribution efficiencies are identified with drone technology or GPS
“We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.”
Antiquated “catch-can” field testing has given way to new proprietary computer modeling software technology
When requested to evaluate efficiencies of existing projects, BGB is supported by Water Management Group to prepare as-builts with drones that input data into proprietary Spatial Water Distribution Technology software; this produces an analysis of water distribution efficiency for existing or proposed irrigation systems utilizing advanced computer modeling techniques.

Additionally, PlanCheckPro software assists in backchecking design assumptions to achieve a high-efficiency irrigation design. This technology is invaluable in the retrofit design for aging projects and confirming the basis of design for new projects.
BGB also supports communities and agencies in the water rebate programs such as turf reduction, smart controller upgrades, sensors and water efficient nozzle replacements that are offered through Metropolitan Water District and other local water agencies.
