Water Management Specialists has developed five different levels of software for the Landscape Irrigation Professional.

 

bullet

Irrigation Design Software (IDA)  - A fully comprehensive irrigation design program that assists the irrigation designer through the complete irrigation design process.  This software will increase the design time by 60% regardless if you are a novice or a seasoned pro irrigation designer.  The Irrigation Design Software, or IDA, will determine the optimum GPM flow for any water source, (Meter, Well, Pump, Main Line), calculate the optimum and absolute Head and Row spacing down to the nearest 10th of inch for any Micro-Climate.  The software will calculate the total of zones needed for all Micro-Climates based on GPM and Watering Windows.  It will provide a "What-If" scenario for alternative water sources, perform automatic pipe sizing and hydraulic loss calculations.  It will then generate a complete hydraulic statement.  The software will automatically calculate the Precipitation rates for all zones designed and then generate an ET based irrigation schedule that will comply with the user defined Watering Window.  The IDA will generate a complete bidding and estimating price including a completer material take-off.  The user will be able to utilize five different vendors in their pricing format.  This software has this and many, many more functions.

 

bullet

Irrigation Scheduler - An ET (Evapo-Transpiration) scheduling software that is designed for any end user of an irrigation system, regardless if the user is the owner or an irrigation professional.  The software will calculate the precipitation rates on all applications of irrigation ranging from spray, rotators, rotors, or drip irrigation.  It will allow the user to determine precipitation rates from designs, zones already installed, or mixed product zones.  The software will then generate an ET-Based irrigation schedule based on the systems performance and the purveyors watering window.  The ET values are either pre-determined from historical data bases or created by the user from alternative weather stations or alternative ET data sets.  The ET data base will allow data from any state or region.

 

bullet

Irrigation Inspector - A complete analysis software that will evaluate and analyze any irrigation design for compliance with local, county or TCEQ (state of Texas regulatory agency) state codes or ordinances.  It evaluates and analyzes meter flow rates, zone flow rates, velocities, pipe sizing, backflow, elevation, component, head spacing, design pressure, and actual head pressure.   If there is a conflict with the design and code/ordinance the software will flag and  display the code/ordinance that was violated giving the inspector the specific problem with the design.  The software can be modified to address any local  irrigation code or ordinance. 

 

bullet

TCEQ Maintenance Check List - This software will assist the the Texas Licensed Irrigator in complying with the TCEQ mandated codes for developing and providing a "Maintenance Check List" for all irrigation systems they sell or provide after January 1, 2009.  This program assists the irrigation professional in creating a customized program for their specific product/manufacturer/brand that are used in the development and installation of the their irrigation system.  This software incorporates the "Irrigation Scheduler" as well, so the TCEQ and local requirements of providing an "Annual ET-Based Schedule" is met.  This program is easily modified to any products the professional uses.  It is fully adjustable and modifiable to meet each clients needs and applications.

 

bullet

Drainage Design Estimator -This software will assist the landscape drainage professional with a design, flow/load calculations, component sizing, and bidding and estimating package for surface, sub-surface, and tertiary landscape problems.  It will address surface drains, catch basins, French drains, Modified French Loop drains, core drains, channel drains, and swales.  It will allow the user to design systems with mechanical and non-mechanical lift options.
