Abstract/Contents: | "The Water My Yard program was created to provide simple weekly evapotranspiration (ET) based irrigation recommendations for homeowners by providing irrigation runtimes (minutes) rather than irrigation amount (inches) needed. Since Texas has no state supported ET network, cities are required to purchase and install their own ET weather stations. However, during the planning stage prospective participants ask how many weather stations does the city need and where should they be placed? To answer these questions, a system was developed using landsat imaging to determine surface land temperatures and macro climates in an urban area." |
