According to one embodiment, a method for generating a dynamic watering plan that reduces water consumption requirements for vegetation is disclosed. An example method includes estimating root depth of vegetation watered by a watering system； determining an allowed water depletion threshold of the vegetation based on the root depth； determining a training watering plan to increase the root depth of the vegetation over time based on the root depth and the allowed water depletion threshold； and transmitting the training watering plan to a flow controller for execution by the watering system.
