Abstract/Contents:Discusses the increasing trend of using remote-control irrigation technology, stating that "if we could all solve irrigation problems or make scheduling adjustments from the cab of our truck or the chair at our desk, we'd have more time to solicit and serve clients. Remote-control technology in the irrigation industry is a fast-growing design and retrofit tool for commercial and municipal water managers that is buying time, reducing labor, and saving water." Also discusses remote-control irrigation technology at A&C Lawn Maintenance in Toms River, New Jersey, stating that "the use of handheld radio transmitters over the last two years has helped...increase...its irrigation clientele by about 300 percent." Describes how the technology enables faster trouble-shooting and repair of problems.
