Project Seeks to Harvest Fog for Irrigation
The man-made mist is part of an effort to help slum-dwellers in Peru harvest moisture from the air. With a small grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, UW students and professors are building and testing fog catchers – and hoping to reel in a bigger grant to mount a full-scale operation in Lima. “It’s like a cold sauna in here,” UW ecologist and civil engineer Susan Bolton said recently, ducking into the plastic “hoop house,” where industrial-grade misters spewed out a cloud of fine water droplets. A noisy exhaust fan drew the cloud through a drape of black plastic netting.

Irrigation audits help reduce customer costs, improve water efficiency
Irrigation audits give landscapers a new tool to reduce customer costs and use water more efficiently. For many business owners, audits are about as popular as broadleaf weeds on a new lawn. But there’s one kind of audit that landscapers who install irrigation systems should embrace: irrigation audits, which can lower their customers’ water bills, promote sustainable water-management practices while developing “green” credibility and help their companies stand out among competitors.

Smart Controllers
When put to the test, these irrigation controllers can reduce water use 15 to 30 percent and prevent over-watering. In the beginning, there was heaven and earth. Rain came as part of the package. Whenever this proved insufficient, humans employed various technologies to water crops and landscapes — irrigation canals, pumps and so on.
