Cooperative extension, a local television station and a private resource conservation association to develop a computerized lawn watering model. The model takes into account rainfall, temperature, evaporation, wind speed and percent sunshine and calculates a water deficit factor based on 2 common RI soil types sandy and silty, The factor was publicized by WJAR-TV, the providence-based NBC afiliate, as a regular feature of its weather forecasts. Consumer support was provided to RI'ers through the free distribution of a brochurre and by volunteers on URI's toll free consumer hotline. During the winter of 1990-91 a follow-up program evaluation was sent to each of the participants to determine ease of use and effectiveness of the factor. Based on the results of this survey in 1991 the factor was aired more often. In 1991,10,000 brochures were developed.
