Sprinkler Testing

I scheduled a visit from the water conservation center as they offer free sprinkler/irrigation inspection, hoping they could tell me how to optimize the sprinkler settings.

Based on their review, turns out I need 71,000 gallons of water (or 814,000 cans of coke) each year and most of the sprinkler settings were good.  They did make some recommendations based on precipitation rate, distribution uniformity and water pressure, and a cool test where they put out cups and measure how much each one gets filled.
