The University of Western Sydney has just commenced their 2 year drought study. Experimenting with the drought tolerance of various species of Eucalypts, UWS required very specific irrigation control hardware for the job. Some of the specifications:
- 95 irrigation zones
- All zones requiring independent, specifically controlled soil moisture levels
- Flow control
- High and low moisture threshold cutoffs
- Simultaneous zone irrigation
- Remote management
- Error reporting
Landscape Technologies specified, installed and commissioned 2 x Acclima CS3500 controllers, 95 x TDT Soil Moisture Sensors, flow meters, and drip irrigation rings for each of their 455 bagged Eucalyptus tress inside a poly tunnel on site at the UWS Richmond campus.
