and Education
to the current tools, FAWN is working with University of Florida scientists to develop others. Some of the studies
already funded by the District will be used to enhance the FAWN program. For example, the Wet Bulb Irrigation Cut
Off management tool has been able to allow strawberry, citrus, fern, vegetable, ornamental growers and home owners
determine when it is safe to shut off irrigation systems used for cold protection.
