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:
All irrigation done on campus is turned on and off manually. there are no automatic or timed irrigation systems, therefore weather sensors are unnecessary. the groundskeepers that manage the irrigation do so with weather forecasts in mind. They regularly check weather forecasts and past rainfall to determine how much, if any, irrigation is necessary.
