Smart irrigation takes a better approach: it waters based on what your plants actually need, not what the calendar says. What Makes It "Smart"? Instead of asking what time should the sprinkler run?, a smart system asks does this pla

Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined loss of water to the atmosphere through evaporation from soil and water surfaces and transpiration from plants. Because ET governs how water moves between land and air, estimating it accurately is central to hydrology and agriculture. It underpins water-balance studies, rainfall–runoff modeling, ecosystem modeling, irrigation scheduling, and water-resources planning. In water-limited regions, ET estimates are especially important for de
