1. A zone pressure management system for use in an irrigation system having a pump for delivering water under pressure to a plurality of irrigation zones each including a zone control valve movable between on and off positions for respectively permitting and preventing water flow thereto, and an irrigation controller for operating the zone control valves, said zone pressure management system comprising:

  • a programmable zone pressure management module for receiving and storing a plurality of individually selected pressure levels corresponding respectively with each one of the plurality of irrigation zones;

    said zone pressure management module including means for monitoring the zone control valves to identify which one or more of the zone control valves is in an on position, and for responding thereto by generating a control signal for controlling the pump to deliver water at an output pressure substantially corresponding with the individually selected pressure levels for the irrigation zones associated with the identified one or more on zone control valves.
