The Ranch Systems site has soil moisture data for the 6 irrigation treatments, along with irrigation control, flow monitoring and weather data. The cooling demo will also be controlled using this system (note that public access does not provide for valve manipulation). To log in, CLICK HERE to go to the Ranch Systems login. Use the following login information to view the demo:

Then click on the "Log In" button and you will be able to view the data in an instrument dashboard view. To get more details, including soil moisture profiles, click on the map in the center and a real-time map will appear with areas to click for more detailed viewing.

8/31/10 update: No irrigation yet at the Hoot Owl Creek / Alexander Valley Vineyards site, yet irrigation is planned to begin this week (about 20 days later than 2009).  Click here for the current water status report.

We've added Kunde's Wildwood vineyards as a second demonstration site. We will be monitoring soil moisture and plant water status in contrasting soils and varieties. Click here for the current water status report.
