- "Smart" sprinkler controllers include evapotranspiration (ET) controllers and soil moisture sensor systems. They automatically adjust the watering schedule in response to environmental conditions, resulting in significant water savings and improved plant health. For more information about "smart" controllers, visit the Irrigation Association's Smart Water Application Technologies website.
- To learn about getting the best performance from your automatic, in-ground sprinkler system, see Irrigation & Sprinkler System Tips.
Additional information for property owners can be found on the Irrigation Association website.
