RISPerformance of Rain Delay Features on Signal-Based Evapotranspiration Irrigation Controllers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evapotranspiration-based irrigation controllers, also known as weather-based irrigation controllers, are a new water-saving technology that use evapotranspiration (ET) estimates to schedule irrigation. Many ET controllers ...
Accuracy of Reference Evapotranspiration Estimation by Two Irrigation Controllers in a Humid Climate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Increasing municipal water demand has led to new innovations in water-saving technology. Evapotranspiration-based irrigation controllers, also known as weather-based irrigation controllers, are a technology that use ...
Irrigation of Residential Landscapes Using the Toro Intelli-Sense Controller in Southwest Florida
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of the research reported in this paper was to determine the potential water-savings effectiveness of Toro Intelli-Sense evapotranspiration (ET)-based irrigation controllers in single-family homes. Of the 36 ...
Methodologies for Successful Implementation of Smart Irrigation Controllers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Studies have shown minimal impact by smart irrigation controllers when installed indiscriminately, but targeting overirrigators increases the water conservation potential. The objective was to evaluate different methodologies ...
Implementing Smart Controllers on Single-Family Homes with Excessive Irrigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, smart irrigation controllers were targeted toward single-family potable water customers in Orange County, Florida with excessive landscape irrigation patterns. Out of five treatments, four treatments received ...
Using Modified Bellani Plate Evapotranspiration Gauges to Estimate Short Canopy Reference Evapotranspiration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modified Bellani plate atmometer has been offered as an alternative and simpler technique to combination-based equations to estimate evapotranspiration (ET) rate from green grass surface. However, there is a lack of ...
Interactive Effects of Controlled Drainage and Riparian Buffers on Shallow Groundwater Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As a result of recent surface water quality problems in North Carolina, riparian buffers and controlled drainage are being used to reduce the loss of nonpoint source nitrogen from agricultural fields. The effect of controlled ...
Irrigation Scheduling for Green Bell Peppers Using Capacitance Soil Moisture Sensors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Vegetable production areas are intensively managed with high inputs of fertilizer and irrigation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the interaction between N-fertilizer rates and irrigation scheduling using ...
Interactive Irrigation Tool for Simulating Smart Irrigation Technologies in Lawn Turf
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple model was developed to explore the effect of water saving technologies by simulating the soil water balance in a lawn turfgrass system based on site-specific soil characteristics, irrigation schedule, real-time ...
