Topics: 

• Understanding precipitation rates (PR) to to mitigate water and pesticide runoff
• Improving drip irrigation layout to reduce water use
• Improving scheduling strategies to achieve mandated water restrictions
• Programming irrigation controllers to reduce and manage water use
  
• Calculating application rates and PR for reducing runoff or deep percolation
• Understanding water meters to improve efficiency

For Landscape Irrigation Managers.

To attend this workshop, you should understand the following principals and tools: 

• Precipitation Rate
• Infiltration Rate
• Distribution Uniformity
• Pressure, both static and dynamic
• Mathematical calculations (addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, average, percentages)
• Irrigation controller operation, including programming multiple start times and cycle and soak to minimize irrigation runoff

The City of Sacramento and the University of California are collaborating on this workshop which covers using drip irrigation during a drought. This workshop is designed for landscape irrigation managers. The workshop features indoor presentations with accompanying outdoor demonstrations. Additional complementary resources will be provided to all attendees after the event. Certificates of attendance are available for attendees who wish to sign up for Irrigation Association (IA) or PLANET CEUs. Also included, is the option to sign up for 3 hours of continuing education “Other” credits from DPR at the workshop.

Continental breakfast & refreshments provided by Rain Bird, Hunter and Cool Terra BioCarbon.

Cost is $20 per person.
