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:
The University utilizes rain sensors to prevent the irrigation of several campus lawns on a quarter of campus during rainy weather. The sensors shut off the irrigation system when rainfall is detected, preventing overwatering of the turf areas. Planning is underway to extend this technology to other parts of campus.
