Claim:
1. A method for providing irrigation protocols to an irrigation system having a controller connected to an irrigation server over a computer network for executing irrigation protocols in compliance with irrigation restrictions, wherein the method comprises: receiving irrigation restrictions over the computer network that correspond to irrigation zones controlled by the controller and storing the irrigation restrictions in memory; receiving calendaring data over the computer network for generating time stamps denoting a specific date and time irrigation restrictions are received for coordinating irrigation restrictions and irrigation instructions for the controller thereby providing the controller with real time responsiveness with respect to the irrigation restrictions; generating an irrigation protocol within the irrigation server based at least partially on the irrigation restrictions received and the calendaring data received; and transmitting the irrigation protocol from the irrigation server to the controller over the computer network such that the irrigation protocol generated within the irrigation server is executed by the controller in compliance the irrigation restrictions, wherein the irrigation protocols cause the controller to be actuated in compliance with the irrigation restrictions.
