| Abstract/Contents: | "Smart irrigation technologies are available that have been shown to reduce water volumes applied to landscapes while maintaining landscape plant quality as compared to standard time-based automated irrigation systems. To encourage the use of these technologies, a new web-based interactive irrigation tool has been developed for homeowners, irrigation professionals, and others to investigate the different irrigation technologies using site-specific and real-time data from the Florida Automated Weather Network (FAWN) stations. The model simulates a water balance in a lawn environment including soil water, rainfall, evapotranspiration, infiltration, runoff, percolation, and irrigation on a daily time step. Model results are reported to the user weekly via email. The model simulates different irrigation technologies including time-based scheduler, time-based plus rain sensor, time-based plus soil moisture sensor, and evapotranspiration controller. Model output includes the water applied that is not used by the lawn as a percentage and volume. Model coding accuracy was verified and outputs were validated from two Florida study sites. The tool, hosted on the FAWN web site, is meant to provide a virtual environment to explore new irrigation technologies so that potential users can better understand their operational differences and potential water savings." |
