Introduction

Hello, my name is Marc Kovach and I am an active irrigation designer/consultant and principal at Kovach Design Solutions, LLC.  

For some time now, I have thought about writing a blog.  What has prevented me from starting this?  Over the years I have found that a lot of our clients understand the importance of sustainability, but did not want to take the time to discuss water use for landscapes.  Why write a blog if no one is going to read it?  I wondered why people felt this way?  We all know how important water is to life.  

It was not until recently, during a few conversations, reasoning for this was revealed to me.  Most blogs about landscape water conservation are not written by someone in our area.  Although landscape water conversation in our area is important, it is different than someone from a drought stricken area of Texas.  We do not have non-irrigation days like Florida.  We do not need to irrigate our yards for the same reason as those living in Arizona.  The Mid-Atlantic is unique.

After this revelation, I felt what would help our partners and others in the industry would be someone writing about irrigation and water conservation from our area’s point of view.

So here is goes! We hope you find the information found on these pages useful.  If there is something you would like to discuss, please feel free to let us know.
