| Abstract/Contents: | "The terms efficiency and uniformity are often incorrectly used interchangeably in landscape irrigation. Efficiency consists of hardware associated issues and management. Hardware includes design, installation and maintenance; management is essentially irrigation scheduling, the right amount applied at the right time. Irrigation efficiency tended to be less than 50% on homes and on plot based studies where 'typical' time clock schedules were used. Optimizing time clock programming with a rain sensor could increase efficiency substantially. Smart controllers such as soil moisture sensor (SMS) or evapotranspiration (ET) controllers tended to result in irrigation efficiency above 70%." |
