Smart irrigation and water management firm ETwater has launched a free web tool that aims to reduce water useage and costs.
It combines AccuWeather localized weather data with an array of soil, plant and environmental data to create optimized usage plans that replace wasteful manual estimates and equipment.
The company launches the tool as unprecedented drought conditions continue in the Southwest.
Two thirds of the world’s largest companies — including Merck, Unilever and H&M — are reporting exposure to water risks, some of which have potential to limit growth, according to CDP’s latest annual global water report, published earlier this month.
