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:
SDSU utilizes weather station at Hepner Hall and sensors stations around campus to reduce water use for irrigation. As of 2010 irrigation on 90% of the main campus grounds is linked to a weather informed system which takes into account temperature, humidity, rainfall, and the water needs of specific vegetated areas.
