An important resource of the site is the irrigation scheduling programming that helps users develop site-specific, seasonal irrigation schedules. These weather stations provide the scheduling routines with reference evapotranspiration data for specific areas.
Separate sections are available for scheduling home, commercial turf, and production agriculture.
They are based on long term, average weather patterns and average crop coefficient curves. Field verification by the user is absolutely necessary to ensure proper soil moisture levels and plant health throughout a growing season. There is also a page with short answers to Frequently Asked Questions. The Center for Irrigation Technology has also produced many publications concerning water management.
