Draper, James E., authorU.S. Committee on Irrigation and Drainage, publisher2020-05-062020-05-062000-06https://hdl.handle.net/10217/206507Presented at the 2000 USCID international conference, Challenges facing irrigation and drainage in the new millennium on June 20-24 in Fort Collins, Colorado.In an effort to assist residents with conserving water, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) established an Irrigation Management Services Department. One of the goals is to promote increased efficiency during an irrigation event. In agriculture, NCWCD assists the farmer, through an irrigation scheduling program, by monitoring their soil moisture and providing a report of the moisture status. NCWCD provides soil moisture content and ET data relative to their crops along with suggested days until the next irrigation is needed. This allows the farmer to adjust their irrigation sets to maximize the use of their irrigation water and better utilize beneficial rainfall. NCWCD is presently integrating a web-based interface to their irrigation scheduling program.born digitalCD-ROMsproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
