Build this home sprinkler scheduling and monitoring device to save water, time, and money! This device is an open-source Internet / web-based sprinkler timer / controller built upon the Arduino platform. It works with standard 24VAC sprinkler valves commonly found in household watering and irrigation systems. We believe it's a very timely project as California enters potentially the worst drought in the last 100 years and will help you meet that 20% water reduction mandate.

New peer-reviewed research has found that just 90 entities are responsible for extracting most of the fossil fuels that have been burned over the past 150 years.... In fact, 5 companies produced an eighth of all industrial carbon pollution since 1854. The research could open up new opportunities to investigate the impacts that burning these fuels have hadand will continue to haveon the climate: http://blog.ucsusa.org/who-is-responsible-for-climate-chang See more
