Abstract/Contents: | "An irrigation study to determine the effects of sensor based irrigation controllers on residential irrigation water use is described in this paper. This project is comprised of 64 homes in Pinellas County, Florida, with automatic in-ground residential irrigation systems. Homes for this study were categorized into three groups of water users based on historic water use; low (20-36 mm/month), medium (40-87 mm/month), and high (92-214 mm/month). Experimental treatments to be evaluated include an automatic time based irrigation controller, set and operated by the cooperator, the integration of a soil moisture sensor, a rain sensor, and a rain sensor along with educational material given to the cooperator. Our hypothesis is that the use of soil moisture sensors, rain sensors, and educational materials will reduce residential irrigation water application." |
