Abstract/Contents: | "The U.S. Department of Agriculture has identified water management improvements as a primary agricultural policy objective. Water savings of 20-30% through improved water use efficiency in landscape and turf industries could offset the ever-increasing water demand. Evaluating water use through monitoring devices is a necessary component of any SMART irrigation system. Over the last 5 years, the Center for Irrigation Technology has been involved in testing a number of soil moisture sensors and climatologically based Evapotranspiration (ET) controllers in an effort to evaluate their accuracy, reliability and repeatability under different soil types, salinity and temperature conditions. Additionally, some of these devices were installed in the field for continuous monitoring of soil moisture/tension and were linked to a web based portal that allowed access from PC/PDA/Cell phone. Our results to date indicate that these technologies can be very efficient in monitoring and controlling water usage and thereby improving water use efficiency." |
