Water Management Plans
Hydrozone is an independent provider of high quality Water Management Plans for urban irrigators in Melbourne and across Australia. We service Sportsfields, Golf Courses, Racetracks, Parks, Gardens, Bowling Greens and Lawn Tennis Courts.
Hydrozone specializes in finding the best options available for reducing the water use of a site, while ensuring all of the plants continue to thrive and stay as green as possible. It’s critical that all site aspects are considered to achieve cost effective reductions in water use. Every site has different challenges and opportunities and the Hydrozone approach captures all these possibilities.
A recent Hydrozone job for Nillumbik Shire Council showed how potable [drinkable] water use of four sportsfields could be reduced from 18 megalitres to 6 megalitres. At project completion that will be a 65% decrease in water use! At the funding launch for the project, Water Minister John Thwaites said “Nillumbik sports grounds will become models of how to improve sports facilities, recycle storm water and use less water.”
Hydrozone doesn’t focus on single solutions or sell products. We evaluate all options available and show the water savings and the expenditure required. This means we can provide practical, independent advice specifically suited to your site.
