| Abstract/Contents: | "Experts estimate landscape irrigation systems waste 25% of culinary water. Inefficiencies in control and distribution are the cause. Weather conditions drive evaporation. Water lost from the landscape through evaporation is replaced by rainfall and irrigation. Effective management maintains healthy soil moisture levels. Evapotranspiration, rainfall, plants, soils, and irrigation system capabilities must be considered. Large landscapes have measured weather conditions to automate water management for many years. Evapotranspiration can be calculated from weather sensor input: solar radiation, temperature, wind, and humidity. Precision sensors must be properly sited and well maintained. Previously cost and complexity has been a barrier for most landscapes. Wireless technology allows weather data to be shared. A single weather station can provide weather information to unlimited landscapes. A controller interface calculates evapotranspiration from weather data and provides accurate irrigation management. This technology provides significant water savings and has proven reliable while not burdening end users with purchasing, or maintaining weather sensors." |
