the spray can be enabled or disabled, by remote control, in each segment of hose between valve boxes (which are shown in blue in the figure). the homes are orange, the pump is red, the streets are gray, and the water source is blue.

the hoses have a wire pair that is embedded in the hose walls. the wire pair supports an ethernet type of digital network that allows for the remote control of the valve boxes. the system would be inexpensive and can be seen at www.electric-fluid-pipeline.com.

currently, the wire pair is run separately from the plastic irrigation pipe. i propose to embed the wire pair in the plastic pipe. this should lower the overall system cost.

intelligent irrigation systems have sensors which determine where and how much water is needed. then the proper amount of water is delivered by remotely controlled valves.
