Irrigation Management System

This project made possible through a grant from the:

TEXAS WATER RESOURCES INSTITUTE

Water continues to be one of the most critical issues facing the green industry. Water availability, conservation, and quality all impact nursery/floral producers, landscapers and retailers. In addition, commercial and residential landscape irrigation is the single largest water use category for most major municipalities. Improved technologies and better management practices will be required if we are to protect and conserve this valuable natural resource. Experts agree that irrigation management is the most important factor in conserving water. A well-designed irrigation system is only efficient if it is operated properly. Advances in technology are providing new opportunities to better address water management. However, much of this technology is not readily available through traditional horticultural suppliers. The objective of this project will be to evaluate new irrigation technologies using currently available components. Click here for more...
