Outdoors > Lawn > How to Use Watering Devices to Conserve Water

Learn how to use timing devices and sensors to water thoroughly without wasting water.

Drive a water sensor into the soil to monitor its moisture level and transmit a wireless signal to a special receiver that plugs into the electronic water timer. The sensor is set to respond at a certain moisture level and transmits a signal telling the water timer not to water. As the soil begins to lose moisture, the sensor sends another signal telling the timer to resume the watering schedule.
