Does the institution use weather data or weather sensors to automatically adjust irrigation practices?:
Yes

A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:

the new soccer stadium on campus included automatic irrigation with a weather gauge that monitors the rain fall and adjusts the automatic programming as needed. In addition, grounds maintenance staff closely monitor the local weather online and from the local TV stations to determine when and if manual irrigation is needed on the other game fields.
