, a software program developed by the university, to help people be more efficient with their water use.
Homeowners can view their individual reports by logging onto the same website used to pay their water bills. These reports are only available to the homeowner, meaning others cannot look up the report of neighboring properties, said USU professor and WaterMAPS manager Joanna Endter-Wada. "This was a software program that didn't exist before USU started working on it, so this has really been a labor of love," Duer told KSL.com.What's available now is a landscape irrigation ratio report from 2018 to 2022 that offers insight into how much water an outdoor landscape may need. This is based on how much turfgrass, trees, shrubs, or any other types of vegetation, are visible from satellite images. Another report will be issued at the end of this season.
"We're pulling in all of this localized weather data on a daily basis, taking into account to estimate what the landscape needs, so it's personalized to the location and the person, but it's also very dynamic in trying to assess that landscape needs in relation to a changing weather pattern," Endter-Wada said. "Irrigation seasons vary over time and this helps us adjust to those conditions.
