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:
Stanford uses a Maxicom central control system throughout most irrigated landscape areas on campus. Based on evapotranspiration sensors in the ground and weather station data, computers at the Grounds Department calculate sprinkler run times and communicate irrigation schedules to field controllers which automatically run the sprinklers.
