ABSTRACT:
A master control system for conserving water used by sprinkler systems within a predetermined geographical region includes a plurality of sprinkler systems each of which is assigned an identifying indicia. A transmitting station is arranged for transmitting control signals receivable at any location within the geographical region. A valve connects each sprinkler system to a water source for selectively feeding water to an associated sprinkler system when the valve is open and for precluding water from being fed to the associated sprinkler system when the valve is closed. A receiver is provided for each sprinkler system within the region connected to an associated valve for receiving the control signals and generating a disabling signal for causing only said valves for the sprinkler systems assigned said identifying indicia to open independently of their status. In this manner, said transmitting station can control and override the operation of selected sprinkler systems assigned said identifying indicia to regulate the extent to which water may be used within said geographical region in accordance with protocols established for the consumption of water by such sprinkler systems within said geographical region.
