The Coachella Valley Water District offers a range of smart irrigation systems that cater to customers seeking more sustainable watering solutions.
Unlike traditional irrigation controllers that rely on preset schedules and timers, smart irrigation controllers use advanced technology sensors that monitor real-time weather, soil moisture, evaporation, and plant water requirements. This allows smart irrigation controllers to automatically adjust watering schedules based on actual needs, delivering accurate amounts of water directly to the root zones of plants–minimizing water waste and watering costs.
Many smart irrigation systems also offer smartphone app integration, enabling users to monitor and control their irrigation remotely.
