High Efficiency Sprinkler System

缺水和不断增长的需求是艾伯塔省以及整个加拿大和世界各地的担忧。住宅和商业景观的灌溉是用水的一个来源，有可能改善保护。艾伯塔省的一家小企业开发了旋转式弹出式草坪喷头的概念，这种喷头的用水效率更高，安装也更容易，因此提供了许多优于现有系统的好处。该公司与SAIT理工学院的应用研究和创新服务部门合作，创造了这种先进、高效的地下喷头的原型。该项目建立在SAIT在清洁技术和制造方面的学术和应用研究能力的基础上。赛特理工学院在设计、信息技术和制造方面拥有必要的技能和设施，帮助该公司从概念产品过渡到预商用产品。SAIT受益于让员工参与该项目，并将获得的实用知识带回课堂。

Water scarcity and rising demand are concerns in Alberta as well as across Canada and around the world. Watering of residential and commercial landscapes is one source of water use with the potential for improved conservation. A small Alberta enterprise developed a concept for a rotary pop-up lawn sprinkler that would be more efficient in its use of water and easier to install, thus offering many benefits over existing systems. The company worked with SAIT Polytechnic's Applied Research and Innovation Services to create a prototype of this advanced, high-efficiency underground sprinkler. This project builds on SAIT's academic and applied research capacity in clean technologies and manufacturing. SAIT Polytechnic has the necessary skills and facilities in design, information technology, and manufacturing to help this company move from concept to pre-commercial product. SAIT benefits from involving staff in the project, and bringing the practical knowledge gained back to the classroom.
