Staying Ahead Of The Drought.
How One Local Business And The Sioux Falls Parks And Recreation Department Are Keeping Up SIOUX FALLS, S.D.
Like many communities, Sioux Falls needs rain.
Zeigler said a couple of things are important for watering at home as well.
If they’re dry, go ahead and soak them then, but if they are seem wet, give them another day or so you know, then soak them in real good.
However, sometimes watering isn’t enough to fight off dry conditions.
During these dry times, they have stayed away from plants that are more susceptible to drought conditions, but some may not be as fortunate.
“We do what we can to make sure that our – especially our athletic fields, that they are still safe to recreate on so that you know the irrigation’s part of that is to provide a healthy turf playing surface for them,” said the Sioux falls Parks Manager, Kelby Mieras.
The department said only ten percent of city parks have irrigation systems and that’s mainly for athletic fields.
Unfortunately, it’s going to take a lot of rain to make up for the dry conditions.
