Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water management on athletic fields, detailing the use of UgMO Technologies data recording technology in logging soil profile information. Suggests that "it is likely the largest real time soil data base in the world." Recommends the use of the UgMO ProHome system, a monitoring device which potentially maintains an optimum soil moisture level in in residential and commercial soil profiles. Details the functions of the system, highlighting its implementation at the Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium to reduce water inputs. Suggests, "learning from each other and seeking every piece of knowledge that can help make better decisions is more of a reality than ever with the ability to see wirelessly into the soil whenever or wherever one wants to." |
