Technologies for managing water quality and efficiency
Copper ionization system
Greenhouse and nursery growers recognize the importance of conserving water and reducing runoff, but water saving practices can sometimes introduce new problems. For example, recycling irrigation water can increase the risk of transmitting waterborne plant pathogens.
Many technologies make it easier and safer to conserve water in the greenhouse and nursery, e.g.
- Water treatment technologies that reduce pathogen risk in surface water or recycled water
- Nozzles, misters, and moisture sensors designed to reduce water consumption
With many options to choose from, selecting the best technology for your operation is challenging. The Water Education Alliance for Horticulture can help. Our key info will give you an overview of several available technologies, and our extensive links page will help you find articles about water technologies.
