OK. Then only tap water remains. Take 1 inch. Just didn’t want you to regret later when the water bill comes.

Sure, thanks. We will use 2-3 more IBC containers for rainwater, but that's rather a drop in the ocean.

How big is your water meter? That is the reasonable diameter for your water pipe. A few things have already been mentioned. Cistern, well, etc. would be better. For 1000m2, quite a lot adds up. Hopefully practically laid out... Just as an example: lawn requires (worst case without natural rainfall) 20 liters / m2 / week. For 1000m2 that is 80m3 per month. Even with very economical watering you will need 10-20m3 per month. Don’t you have the possibility for a cistern or well? Another advantage would be that with a large pump (higher pressure and especially more flow) you can form larger irrigation circuits. Our garden area is estimated to be around 1000-1500m2 as well. I am planning for 20 circuits. 4 are spare. The difference is that I can realize circuits with over 6,000 l/h. The circuits also include drip and tree watering.

Yes, I am aware of the quantities. That's also why a "small" cistern is not an option. Cutting a large cistern into the rock is certainly not a cheap undertaking. A well is also out of the question due to the altitude. With 100-200m³ per year, you don't become poor and can draw clean(!) water for many years without technology, filters, or maintenance.

We still have nothing; the water connection will be installed in the next few weeks. According to the waterworks' offer, we will receive "PE pipe 32x3.0-H PN 16" and "KFR valve and bracket Q3 4" at the house connection.

The area is actually well-shaped, a free L-shape. Although 1000m² might have been an overestimate if you deduct outbuildings and other facilities in the final development.

Sorry but absolute nonsense calculation.

Talk to your supplier to get a water meter with a large diameter. You need to optimize your system for flow. Otherwise, you will need many circuits/valves. Since well and cistern are not possible, you only have the water pipe left. Also, lay a KG pipe for the control lines through the wall right away. Then you can implement the control inside later.
