Does the institution use weather data or weather sensors to automatically adjust irrigation practices?:
A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:
Under normal conditions we receive adequate rainfall here in Boone, NC to sustain our landscape. We only irrigate to establish plant material, and the few containers we have on campus. The only permanently installed irrigation systems are located on two athletic fields. These are not automatically irrigated, but are monitored daily and only irrigated if needed, based on weather and scheduled events. In general, the athletic fields are not irrigated at all under normal conditions.
