Speaker: Michael Cahn, UCCE Irrigation and Water Resource Advisor in Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties.
To achieve a high efficiency, irrigation systems must be well designed, maintained, and operated correctly so that water is applied uniformly to a crop. Also, scheduling of irrigation events need to match the water demand of the crop. This talk describes tools and approaches that can help increase water use efficiency, including the use of soil moisture sensors, flowmeters, and weather-based approaches to scheduling.
