Abstract

A system (10) with sensor equipment (30) including one or more sensors (140,142) and watering equipment (20) disposed on a parcel of land and configured to selectively apply water to the parcel, and a gateway (40) configured to provide for communication with the sensor equipment (30) and the watering equipment (20). The watering equipment (20) comprises a watering pump (120), wherein the watering pump (120) is operably coupled to a water source (100) and a water line (110) to alternately couple the water source (100) to and isolate the water source (100) from the water line (110). The watering pump (120) further includes a pump sensor assembly (155) configured to detect environmental and operational parameters and processing circuitry (160) configured to direct the watering pump (120) based on detected environmental and operational parameters.
