Yes

A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:
Campus irrigation uses RainMaster sprinklers to further conserve water consumption. The control-based sprinkler system utilizes weather-based logic in addition to data taking into account such variables as type of surface and slope in order to minimize runoff. Effective irrigation methods can reduce water consumption to 2.0 gallons per hour as compared to older traditional irrigation which could use up to 1 gallon per minute.
