Am requesting a zone setting feature such as a rain efficiency setting.
Why I am requesting this? I have noticed that when it rains, certain zones, due to property and environmental characteristics, don’t take in the rainfall amounts in its entirety or more than others.
Examples:
Ex. 1 Shrub Lines that is close to the building where the protruding roof is above, don’t get much of the rain, and in some cases, at all.
Ex. 2 Shrub and trees with certain canopy characteristics would allow uneven precipitation of canopy water to the root baseline. I have observed water just precipitating on the edge of the canopy line and trickling at the trunk, also dry mulch under canopy.
Ex. 3 Tree canopy preventing even distribution over turf (kind of a repeat).
Ex. 4 Slope of turf and soil texture. If a heavy downpour occur, then the infiltration rate may not keep up with the rain downpour rate leading to run off. I observe this where the flats had deeper water saturation than sloped portions.
Ex. 5 Flood landscape plants, like a zone where run off accumulates and designed to reduce water surface settle time, take more water than other zones.
I am sure others have other examples.
