A three-dimensional resistivity model is generated from the measurements and is compared to a set of moisture requirements. A set of sprinkler commands is generated based on the three-dimensional resistivity model and the set of moisture requirements. If the three-dimensional resistivity model meets the set of moisture requirements, the set of sprinklers are activated in each of a set of sprinkler zones according the three-dimensional resistivity model where watering is needed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Bryant Consultants, Inc.Inventor: John Bryant
