To maximize the efficiency of your garden pond’s irrigation system while reducing water waste, you should install an efficient faucet aerator, use a submersible pump to reduce splashing and evaporation, inspect the irrigation system regularly for clogged emitters or broken lines that are not supplying water evenly and replace them with proper emitters, put an automatic timer to regulate watering duration and make sure it is kept moist but not saturated at all times by performing soil moisture tests. Additionally, installing a UV filter in the pond can help minimize algal growth which helps conserve water by limiting top-ups.

You can maximize the efficiency and reduce water waste by installing or repairing existing irrigation lines with more efficient emitters or drippers, as these trickle down water more slowly and evenly. Additionally, you could add an in-line pH balancer to correct the water's acidity levels which will reduce plant stress, while a better filtration system could be added to trap sediment, both of which can help decrease your water usage.
