The online estimator identifies areas of an irrigation system needing maintenance, repairs or upgrades to improve distribution uniformity. It also translates the distribution uniformity score into an estimated financial return on investment based on estimated water, energy and fertilizer savings as well as estimated potential yield improvements.
CURES is partnering with Resource Conservation Districts throughout the central valley and central coast of California, water quality coalitions, private irrigation specialists, industry groups, and irrigation dealers and manufacturers to facilitate the adoption of the DU & ROI Estimator software.
