In 2015, the PNW experienced the hottest summer on record, and a historical low snow pack resulted in Gov. Kate Brown declaring drought emergencies throughout the state. The consequence was millions of dollars in crop loss, dead fish in empty rivers and streams and a devastating fire season.

 

Though this year’s snow pack appears normal, rising temperatures, combined with several months of low precipitation, could once again mean trouble for summer water supplies. As water becomes scarcer, the cost will rise.

 

If you make management decisions about the cost and usage of green spaces, which includes…parks, ball fields, campuses, school grounds, golf courses, landscaping, and bus or train stops, it is crucial that you discover smart irrigation – an innovative way to battle the increasing need and expense of water.

 

Smart Irrigation: 

  1. Minimizes water needed in drought affected areas
  2. Curtails water run-off and operator error
  3. Cuts current irrigation spend by 10% – 50%

Smart Irrigation Improves Traditional Techniques

 Irrigation systems usually rely on programmed timers to water green spaces.

They do not consider rainfall, water runoff or plant types.  Smartirrigation utilizes weather-based tracking  to analyze water needs in designated spaces.
