"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Does the institution use weather data or weather sensors to automatically adjust irrigation practices?:
Yes

A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:

Weber State University has a weather station that shuts off irrigation controllers when it has rained at least 0.15 inches in an hour that day or when the wind is blowing at 25 MPH or more for at least 10 minutes. WSU utilizes Rain Master's Evolution software and is currently in the process of converting the weather station over to ET mode so that we will only be irrigating to the exact level necessary.
