Rain Sensor
Whenever it rains shut off the sprinkler system for the following day. Natural rain is much more effective than city water. City water often times contains chemicals that inhibits the grass. It is not enough to cause any damage, but it does make this source less effective.
Installing a rain sensor that coordinates with your sprinkler system control will automatically stop redundant watering. The rain sensor is typically mounted up by the gutter to catch the rain. The sprinkler system control then detects the rain and shuts down the system for the following day.

This is a nice post. Doing this way you can save the water from being wasted. Also the rain water is more healthy for the garden grass.
