| Abstract/Contents: | "The increased use of smart irrigation controllers - along with incorporation of weather data and soil moisture sensors among other tools - are indicators of an industry trend toward greater use of technology to drive water conservation and overall system performance. As a key element of this trend, flow sensors are becoming more prevalent to measure water usage and to help manage irrigation systems. ET Water Systems, Inc. has deployed many smart irrigation products and tools which incorporate flow sensors, with customers using flow sensors to: Measure water usage during scheduled irrigation, manual watering, and other water usage events; Identify high flow conditions (e.g. main line break); Identify slow leaks; Compare current flow on a station to historical flow data to investigate for issues such as broken heads or blocked drippers; and Collect data for water budgeting and compliance purposes. This paper will use real world field data to demonstrate how to get the most out of flow monitoring. Different flow sensor techniques will be reviewed with a discussion of their accuracy, limitations, and how to use them to enhance irrigation management and water conservation programs." |
