IRRIGATION WORKER

Use irrigation methods to adjust the amount of water consumption and to prevent waste, such as many tools used to aid in the adjustment of water that is used for irrigation systems, including Rainbird adjustment tool, pressure gauges, irrigation controllers valves and water flow meters. The proper run times and frequency of these specific types of irrigation within one climate is performed for commercial and residential environments. Water lawns, trees, or plants, using portable sprinkler systems, hoses, or watering cans. Haul or spread topsoil, or spread straw over seeded soil to hold soil in place. Maintain or repair tools and equipment. Install and maintain irrigation systems, which include two primary type of irrigation systems that are used for commercial and residential project environments: Sprinkler Irrigation - Water is pumped through a pipe system and then sprayed onto the landscape/lawn through rotating sprinkler heads. Drip Irrigation or trickle irrigation - water is conveyed under pressure through a pipe system to plants where it drips slowly onto the soil through emitters or drippers which are located close to the plants. Only the immediate root zone of each plant is wetted. With these two methods we use a variety of equipment such as: shovels, rakes, walk-behind trenchers, pipe cutters or hacksaw, knives, measuring tapes, wire cutters and wrenches to install and maintain the irrigation systems.
