Project Background
Farmers Irrigation District will utilize a unique, scientifically based software modeling technique that makes use of real time weather, soil moisture holding capacity and crop co-efficient to calculate daily water use and project optimal dates for irrigation to be applied. Soil moisture readings are superimposed to refine models and quantify how much water is needed by the crop and ultimately how much can be saved.
