Greg Ingleton reflects on his long-running work with SWAN Systems across South Australia and New South Wales, showing how structured irrigation scheduling can reduce water use while maintaining high-quality public open space.
The City of Bayswater is preparing for tighter water allocations by optimising irrigation with SWAN Systems. Using SWAN Sync talk-back, they improved scheduling efficiency by up to 20% while maintaining turf quality. This case study shows how smarter irrigation planning helps councils save water and stay ahead of change.
Liverpool City Council has partnered with SWAN Systems and Microsoft to improve irrigation efficiency and sustainability in local parks and green spaces.
How can turf managers cover more ground with less time? This article, created in collaboration with Sports Turf Technology, explores how NDVI and satellite imagery help identify stressed turf before it’s visible—enabling smarter irrigation, better resource use, and healthier playing surfaces year-round.
SWAN Systems and Microsoft Announce Water Management Project in New South Wales. This collaboration seeks to implement advanced water management solutions in 40 parks, setting new benchmarks for water conservation and efficiency.
As cities and suburbs become increasingly built-up, having enough urban green space to supplement them is more important than ever. Smart irrigation that makes the most out of every drop of water is key to maintaining our all-important urban green spaces; whilst conserving water.
Smart cities are those that make the most of limited resources: including water. How did SA Water use our software to help them identify over 30% of potential water savings in a recent trial project?
SWAN Systems is pleased to announce the launch of its latest software module: System Suggested Irrigation (SSI). This new feature allows water managers to optimise their irrigation schedule for the coming week at the click of a button.
Did you know that well irrigated spaces are cooler than non-irrigated spaces? As the temperatures in our cities gradually increase, we look at why this is a problem, and how using smart irrigation in public open spaces can help to keep our urban areas cool.
The Summer 2019 edition of The Irrigation Australia Journal includes a Smart Irrigation feature, and we were honoured to contribute. The focus of this feature is to look at the application of digital technology to irrigation.
