Top tips for managing water use in your garden especially where is doesn't rain very often (or indeed hardly ever):
1. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean the paved areas in your garden. If you are doing this with the children you can make a game of it and see who sweeps up the biggest pile of dirt or leaves.
2. Check taps or water equipment for signs of leaks and repair as quickly as you can. One drop a second leaking from a tap can be as much as 5000 litres a year. Use a trigger on the end of your hose so that the water is never left running onto the ground.
3. Sloping gardens and features will allow the water to run off more quickly than flat areas. You might get soil washed off that is vital for your garden as well as valuable water. Also any chemicals or fertiliser that you have applied in the garden could end up in local streams and rivers and cause pollution.
4. A crowded garden will use more water and may also be more prone to disease.
5. Choose a grass mix for the lawn that needs less water especially if you live in an area with low natural rainfall. Lawns are the most water-hungry feature in a garden.
6. Use low water plants by planning your garden and selecting plants that survive with less water. Some low water plants also provide a lot of ground cover - so less weeding.
7. Mulching will also retain the water in the soil.
8. Set up rain butts so that when it rains you can collect roof water that runs off into your gutters. Put a rain gauge in your garden so that you can monitor rainfall and you don't water plants unnecessarily. Rain gauges are good fun for children too and you can work with them on their maths, and draw graphs to show how often it rains or have a weather calendar in the kitchen where the children have made the symbols clouds, sun, rain drops, snow etc.
9. If you need to water your garden, then choose the right time of day. Don't water in the heat of the day because the water will simply evaporate. The best time is the early morning. Don't water on windy days because this will be less effective.
10. Better still to use a water efficient drip or tape water irrigation system for your trees, shrubs and flowers

The advancement of science and technology has been of a great help to the farmers today. This is because the farmer does not have to rely on the ever changing weather and climate conditions. As a result of the global warming the climate is becoming extreme hindering farming. Thus the farmer has to come up with new tectonic to use the available resources and to maximize production.
Drip irrigation is a method where water is supplied to the roots of the plant directly. To implement this in a whole farm one needs to use pipes, tubes, valves, tubing and the emitters. The trick here is to use as little water as possible. This method of farming is very effective in dry and semi dry areas.
You can also mix fertilizers with the water to maximize the input. This system if properly implemented it works better and provides better results than the flood irrigation or the over head irrigation. It also conserves a lot of water.
In drip irrigation, the main problem is clogging in pipes and drainage facilities. Proper drainage and filtering should be maintained for the system to be overall effective. The advantage is there is no deep percolation or evaporation thus maximum use of the water available.
This system is very effective as you are assured of a maximum use of the resources available. If well implemented the results are amazing. The initial layering out is a bit complex but once the system is layered down and working right, its easy to maintain.

Watering your tomato plants adequately is essential for their healthy growth and for the development of juicy, rich fruits. However, home gardeners often make the mistake of watering too little or too much. Here are some tips that can help you avoid these watering mistakes and give you the harvest that is your neighbor's envy.
You can use your finger to test out if the soil is too dry. Just stick your finger about one inch deep into the soil and if it feels dry, it is probably time to add some water. Remember, tomatoes love moisture and a moist soil will help you get a thriving and productive plant.
Watering thoroughly about once or twice a week is a much better than watering it lightly every day. Thorough watering will help in the development of an extensive deep root system that will reach deep into the soil to seek water and nutrients which prevents it from staying on the surface. When the roots reach deep into the soil, they are able to hold dry spells better and do much better during the hot summer afternoons.
A thing to consider while watering is the soil in which the tomato seedlings have been planted. If the soil is sandy, you will need to soak it every 4-5 days, on the other hand if the soil is heavy, you should soak it every 7-10 days.
You should also consider the weather. If it is too hot, then you may have to water it every 2-3 days. If the weather is cooler, you may just need to water it once a week. And if it is raining, your plants are already getting too much water, so you can afford to cut back on watering them yourself.
Avoid over watering since it can do more harm than good. The roots of the plant need air to grow and protect them from various diseases, so make sure the soil is not too soggy.
Watering early in the day is the best way to prevent evaporation losses and it also keeps your plant hydrated for when the sun comes out. Midday is the time when evaporation losses are the highest, and therefore, watering during this part of the day should be avoided. Evening time is also not a good time since it will keep the foliage wet and makes the plant prone to blights and diseases.
A great way to reduce evaporation losses is to use mulch. It not only helps retain the moisture, but also spreads the water evenly and improves the uptake of the moisture by the plants. When it is raining continuously or heavily, mulch also helps in reducing diseases caused due to excess water.
To make sure the water is delivered right to the soil surface and not on the leaves, furrow irrigation, drip irrigation or soaker hoses work best. Watering the leaves does not deliver the water straight to the roots and may also invite diseases to the plant.
Remember, uneven or improper watering can cause blossom end rot, stunt the growth of the plant, reduce the quality of the fruits produced, and make the plant susceptible to pests and diseases. So, water thoroughly but do not over water and you will be assured of a tomato harvest that will really make your neighbors envious.
