| Abstract/Contents: | "Water agencies are continually looking for better ways to help households reduce their outdoor water use without sacrificing landscape quality of their constituents. The main objective of this study was to evaluate two types of smart controllers to determine whether they can reduce irrigation application of high water users located in unincorporated Orange County. A total of 154 participants were recruited where 61 Rain Bird ESP-SMT ET controllers and 61 Baseline Watertec S100 soil moisture sensors were installed on single-family residential properties grouped in eight locations throughout Orange County, FL. Half of the participants receiving smart technologies also participated in a personal, on-site training session about their smart controller provided by the University of Florida. The on-site visit included optimization of program settings and additional educational materials to supplement the user manual. The results will include the participant selection, installation, and education phases of the study with preliminary data collection summaries." |
