| Abstract/Contents: | "Water use within the United States has increased with population growth. This trend of water use is also observed within the urban environment. Urban landscapes require water to thrive, and a higher percentage of municipal water is being used to keep these areas aesthetically pleasing. With a limited amount of water resources, water conservation efforts have increased. As irrigation technologies improve, newly developed smart controllers allow homeowners to control water use from their phone. Compared to manually programmed controllers, a smart controller makes changes to an irrigation schedule based on conditions within each watering zone and local weather data. This study aims to discover how efficient three brands of smart controllers are by measuring total water use and comparing the physiological plant responses of each Kentucky bluegrass stand (Poa Pratensis L.). The data from each brand of controller will be compared to one another and the control of the experiment. The results will help determine which smart controller is most water efficient while continuing to provide aesthetic value." |
