| Abstract/Contents: | "Northern Nevada faced a severe drought from 1987-1994. $6M dollars of emergency conservation programs were implemented. Savings were temporary and per capita outdoor water consumption is now higher than prior to the water shortage. When water supplies have been fully allocated, conservation is the only avenue for an extended supply. Residents intuitively apply 2-10 times more water than is needed for turf production. We have initiated a study evaluating the use of satellite technology as an effective means of water conservation. The study consists of 4 treatments: intuitive irrigation, manually ET scheduled irrigation, manually ET scheduled irrigation with management training, and ET satellite controlled irrigation. Residential and commercial cooperators are included. Cost/benefits for each treatment will be compared using the current fixed cost of water in the Truckee Meadows. Preliminary results indicate a potential of 15-30% water savings using satellite technology. A 15% savings would equate to 12.5 AF/Y in our area." |
