A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:
Notre Dame's irrigation system monitors the weather and automatically defers irrigation when it is raining, resulting in a 25%-35% savings. The new system is also able to shut down the water supply from a central location in case of broken pipes or flooding. Flow meters, which can increase the water savings up to 55%, are being installed in high activity areas.
