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 listen to the weather forecast, and based upon predicted rainfall, humidity, and temperature, make operational decisions that may affect our use of natural resources or avert certain pest or disease scenarios.
One irrigation system is equipped with in-ground moisture sensors which control the irrigation controller for times and frequency of irrigation.
