It maximises the cooling capacity of green infrastructure, responding to local conditions and delivering optimised irrigation in response to changing weather, changing plant needs, and dynamic variations of microclimate over time.

Abstract:

Smart Irrigation Management for Parks and Cool Towns (SIMPaCT) is a scalable integrated solution that uses smart technology to automate and optimise active irrigation systems. The solution has been developed to deliver value for urban parks and green spaces in four key areas: it helps to mitigate urban heat; it improves water efficiency; it optimises green infrastructure management; and it helps to ensure a high level of public amenity. The SIMPaCT pilot project developed new insights into how public parks can be designed, managed, valued and experienced. A SIMPaCT demonstration system has been implemented and is now operational at Bicentennial Park at Sydney Olympic Park (SOP). SIMPaCT is a truly smart irrigation management for parks and cool streets that has the capacity to ‘learn’ and adapt dynamically to its local environment to maintain the correct water balance regardless of how water demands are changing. It maximises the cooling capacity of green infrastructure, responding to local conditions and delivering optimised irrigation in response to changing weather, changing plant needs, and dynamic variations of microclimate over time. This report contains the details of the Roadmap for scalability that was developed through a process of collaborative enquiry. It is a record of the background research that generates and informs the Roadmap and presents scenarios for future development and a pathway to get there.
