  • How To Use Forecasted ET for Better Water Management

    Knowing the amount of evapotranspiration occurring on your ranch or your landscape is essential for any water manager.

    Combining the amount of ETo and the forecasted ET takes water management to a higher level. If water demands increase or decrease in the future and adjust irrigation schedules to meet future ET demands, you will save more water and have healthier plants.

    In this session on Wednesday, Connor Cunningham is going to cover:

    The difference between forecasted ETo in Jain Logic and forecasted ET from satellite images

    How to apply that information for creating irrigation schedules
    The importance of having irrigation system information up to date in the system to maximize system performance

    Special Guest: Connor Cunningham.

  • How To Use 5 Key Jain Unity Features With Simple Steps

    Jain Unity gives users (contractors, water managers, home, and building owners) direct access to view how much water the plants in their landscape require, along with real-time visibility to the efficiency of their irrigation system for eliminating water waste.

    Jain Unity processes over a billion pieces of information hourly on how soil moisture responds to rain or irrigation events based on the different plant factors, soil types, weather, and environmental conditions at the site-specific location.

    Connecting to irrigation control that automatically acts upon this algorithm to implement the best strategies for minimizing water usage and managing nutrient loss fulfills AI and predictive analytics promises.

    A user’s ability to see and understand their water usage outdoors engages them directly in its conservation, reinforcing changes to their behavior that can add up to substantial cost savings while also contributing to more significant water resource savings for our communities and affordability.

    In this session, you learn simple ways to use five of the key Jain Unity features.

    How to set up and use flow sensing
    How to confirm communications with the controller
    How to suspend irrigation due to rain
    What is a block day, and how you set it up
    The value of water windows.
