Overview

The Role of Data in Irrigation Management

Data plays a critical role in modern irrigation management. The difference between maintaining a beautiful landscape and experiencing thousands of dollars in plant and water loss often comes down to how effectively data is used. WeatherTRAK irrigation controllers are built around this principle, with data systems at the core of their design and functionality.

How WeatherTRAK Controllers Use Data

WeatherTRAK controllers leverage three types of data to optimize irrigation:

• Advanced weather data provides real-time and forecasted conditions that affect watering needs.
• Local sensor data captures on-site conditions specific to your property's microclimate and current state.
• Site-specific information about your unique property ensures watering schedules account for factors like soil type, plant material, sun exposure, and slope.

By combining these three data sources, WeatherTRAK delivers proven results in water management and landscape health.
