Rick Darnold (Business) recently received a continuation of a previous patent issued (#10,039,240), a "Device for monitoring and controlling water flow," which includes a staged triggering protocol when water flow and or water pressure deviates from "learned" norms in one or more watering stations. With the drought conditions experienced due to climate change, innovations providing smart and simple tools like this one, provide consumers with a way to manage water use and reduce waste in-home, and also have commercial and golf course applications.
