This powerpoint presentation begins by providing background information on studies done by the Irvine Ranch Wate District (IRWD) on evapotranspiration (ET) that have shown water savings and runoff reduction benefits from weather-based (ET) controllers. ET Data Protocol Project objectives include: provide quality, easily accessible ET data; 2 Km² resolution state-wide; build on proven, existing technology; stakeholder involvement in development; and, transferability to other states. Potential long term benefits include: meter reading; customer leak detection; peaking control; and, emergency operations response. Benefits of the state-wide system are provided.
