Abstract
This project evaluated the water conservation potential of "smart" irrigation technology, such as Soil Moisture Sensor (SMS) and Evapotranspiration (ET) irrigation controllers, on landscapes in Orange County by comparing normalized irrigation use between properties with SMS and ET controllers to properties with typical irrigation control. Tailored collaboration partner: Orange County (Fla.) Utilities. Published in 2016.
