What Is Water Usage Tracking?
Water usage tracking is the recording and review of water volume used over a defined period or watering event.
Read the Quantity and the Period
A total should have a volume unit and a defined interval. A dedicated meter’s end reading minus its start reading can give an interval total. Other systems can report calculated estimates; the method and scope need to be understood.
IrriSense 2 Product Context
IrriSense 2 documentation describes current and historical water-use information in the app, including use by zone. The meter example explains an interval total and does not assert how that product generates its readings.
Common Misunderstanding
A usage total is different from a savings claim. Comparing use across periods also requires context such as watered area, weather and settings; a whole-property meter can include non-irrigation uses.
