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:
We have a weather station that collects weather data including precipitation amounts. This data is used to monitor water flows at each satellite controller and can adjust watering times and flow rates automatically to compensate for weather conditions.
This system has been a major contributor to reducing our overall water consumption in recent years.
