In her take-home talk, Kimberly Moore, Ph.D. shares the issue with the overused practice of “set it and forget it” when dealing with sprinkler systems. Her group’s research shows that most established landscapes and grasses do not need the excess irrigation we provide them in order to remain healthy, which comes at the cost of our rapidly-depleting freshwater sources. Moore proves how a seemingly tiny change can add up to tremendous savings for the good of both people, and plants.
