Scientific Lawn Watering
With lawns here in Little Axe getting a little crispy from the high temperatures and lack of rain, more and more sprinklers can be seen in yards. But just how much, or how little, water does your lawn need? Well, weather researchers have an idea.
The Oklahoma Mesonet is a world-class network of environmental monitoring stations. The network was designed and implemented by scientists at the University of Oklahoma (OU) and at Oklahoma State University (OSU).
The Oklahoma Mesonet consists of 120 automated stations covering Oklahoma. There is at least one Mesonet station in each of Oklahoma’s 77 counties.
In four quick steps you receive a custom calculation of the time needed to water based on weather conditions, type of lawn, and sprinkler design.
