Today’s Objectives:
The science of automated water management to improve irrigation efficiency.
How does the ET Manager automate water management?
The ET Manager is the right choice.
Using the ET Manager in the design of an irrigation system.

Automated Water Management Improves Irrigation Efficiency
For a landscape to be beautiful, plants need to be watered right.A plant’s need for water changes:
– Evaporation– Transpiration– Rain– Soil– Roots– Plant Type
Over-watering– Wasting precious water resources– Wasting money– Impacts plant health
Sprinkler controllers (timers) must be manually programmed when conditions change
– The labor cost to reprogram controllers has been more than the cost of water.

Evaporation of water from the soil or plants surfaces and transpired from leaves.
– It is typically measured in inches
Weather conditions affect ET:– Solar radiation– Temperature– Wind– Humidity
Evapotranspiration (ET)

Effective Rain Fall
Measurement of rain is as important as the measurement of ET
Rainfall replenishes soil moisture
Rainfall that runs off is NOT effective rain– Soil percolation rate and slope limit effective rain.
Rain that soaks below the roots is NOT effective rain– A soil moisture balance calculation determines
when the root zone is saturated.
![Page 13: Doug Moore Irrisoft, Inc. - Rain Bird · – Wasting money – Impacts plant health Sprinkler controllers (timers) must be manually programmed when conditions change – The labor](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f061c3f7e708231d4165764/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ET – Effective Rain = Irrigation Requirement
– The Irrigation Requirement is met when sprinklers run long enough to return the soil moisture level back to desired levels.

Once water from irrigation or rain has evaporated.
