Sustainability Statement

Water is a precious resource that is often taken for granted.

At New Zealand Irrigation, we have been dedicated to the sustainable use of water by developing innovative designs and using products and technologies that use water in increasingly efficient ways.

We work only with vendors whose products support sustainable green spaces, landscapes, recreational areas and agricultural production.

Our designs utilize many water conserving technologies. The sustainable use of water, has grown beyond just our designs and products.

Today, we partner with vendors, designers and government to provide solutions, education and training that help achieve near-term and long-term water resource management goals.

New Zealand Irrigation defines sustainability as operating our business in a way that demonstrates environmental stewardship, while continuing to design, develop and use products, services and education that promote the sustainable use of water.
