Seeing the sprinklers water the lawn after 0.3″ of rain the other day got me thinking there has to be a better way. I’ll admit that I don’t know how or when the sprinklers are set to water, but this is 2009 and we are Smith College!!

Why not have some smart students figure out how to tie in the Mill River stream guage (http://pond.smith.edu) to the sprinkler controls? hmmmm….
