Why drip?Almost no water loss due to wind or
evaporationReduces weed growthReduce water use by up to 70%Reduce cost of upkeepGov’t offers rebates to reduce cost

Installation Cost vs. SavingsCost roughly 2.29$ per sq/ft to install if
contracted outPerimeter average about 4500 sqft and each
courtyard roughly 5700 sqft, Approx. $21,000 to outsource
Without hiring out $50 per 20 plantsSprinkler system to a drip system could save
$70 per every $475. No current record of water use. Future
savings are unknown
