| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of buried irrigation systems, weather-based controllers, and soil-moisture-based systems. Details the costs of varying irrigation systems. Also discusses a study done at North Carolina State University that evaluates three "smart" systems, and irrigation frequency. Concludes that "'smart' systems will not solve problems due to poor irrigation-system design." |
