The Delaware Irrigation Management System
Added 2/24/12

DEOS will soon be releasing the Delaware Irrigation Management System (DIMS) for users with agricultural irrigation systems.

DIMS also is tailored for Delaware and incorporates DEOS meteorological data to take advantage of the high resolution system that is already available and used in many agricultural applications.

Please check back soon for more information. If you'd like to be notified when DIMS becomes available, contact us via our feedback page.
