This community service activity aimed to implement an automatic sprinkler irrigation system as a practical solution to improve the effectiveness of watering and support water-use efficiency in two garden areas at SMK Negeri 1 Singosari, Malang Regency. The activity was initiated based on the partner's condition, where garden maintenance was still carried out manually using hoses, making water distribution less practical and difficult to control. The implementation consisted of identifying the garden and water-system conditions, designing the sprinkler network, installing pipes and nozzles according to the spacing, height, and types of plants, and connecting the system to a water pump and electrical switch. The activity resulted in the installation of an automatic sprinkler irrigation system that enables more practical and directed garden watering. In addition, a water pump was provided to support system operation, while a previously non-functioning water line was reactivated for use as a handwashing facility. The implementation also involved collaboration between the community service team and the school in the installation process. The applied technology supports garden maintenance, the development of greener school areas, and the implementation of the Adiwiyata and Go Green programs. However, quantitative measurements of water savings were not available in the activity data; therefore, water-use efficiency should be further evaluated through measurements of discharge, water volume, and watering duration before and after implementation.
