Traditional irrigation is approached the same way whether you are a homeowner or a golf club superintendent. Water, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides are all administered on the surface. If the porosity is high enough to allow the application to reach the root zone we’re satisfied, but at what cost? Over 40% of water used during irrigation is wasted. Nutrients are leached from the soil and then contaminated by chemicals. Thus traditional irrigation is inefficient and expensive.

My new irrigation technology is a total grass management system or GMS. This system is designed to irrigate and feed sod at the root zone providing maximum hydration and nutrients where it is needed. GMS technology provides the following benefits:

Captures 100% of unused water for reuse during the next cycle,
Irrigation contains a nutrient solution, not just water,
Fewer irrigation cycles required due to absorbent substrate,
Provides a cost saving in water related utilities up to 60%,
Reduces evapotranspiration rates by half,
And protects the soil and grass surface from chemicals.

The GMS is exempt from water restrictions since no water is wasted. Backflow preventers are not required as the system is never directly connected to a fresh water source. Also, installation is quick and doesn’t scar the surface with trenching lines. But perhaps best of all, GMS excels at water conservation, soil preservation, and is cheaper to install than traditional irrigation. I believe this green technology is the future of landscape irrigation.

Final testing was completed last year during the Texas drought with amazing results. Now GMS is ready to be released either to a professional company interested in bringing this vital and lucrative technology to market or to a business who desires this technology for their private use.

Thank you for your time.

Keen to hear more about the Governors visit to Ireland and the potential involvement of WCTA. The Green Way is the equivalent Cleantech cluster in Ireland and it might be useful to collaborate in terms of putting our respective Cleantech companies in touch with each other?

I will look you up in LinkedIn and lets see if we can find common ground?

Our product has not only been modeled for this study by the PNNL, but we have extensive field results (70 million points of data), which we would gladly share with anyone who is interested.

If you have an interest in exploring what this kind of efficiency technology might do for your buildings in terms of energy savings and financial return, please give us a call at 855.867.2333 or e-mail our National Account Executive: Travis@twavetech.com.

Strengths:
I agree on all fronts, but we are not as innovative as we like to think. we have a rather conservative mentality compared to California.

Weaknesses:
1. we are too far from Washington, DC to take advantage of federal help
2. we have been a collection of individuals more so than a true community when it comes down to organizations and enterprises.

Opportunities:
1. There are many reasons why a company like Tesla should have been born here or should be here now. Elon Musk successfully started SpaceX and Tesla. Maybe we could convince Jeff Bezos (who already started Blue Horizon) or alike to venture in that direction?
2. take advantage of the proximity to Japan (and China)and encourage them to come invest here – in some ways like VW and many others did in the South East.
3. Explore and explode composites and carbon fiber based technologies, since we have a lot of excellence here in that field.

Threats:
1. US is no longer a leader in any automotive sector: cars, trucks, motorbikes. Europe and Asia is where many of the innovations in the automotive field are taking place. The customer base of US car companies is low compared to Europe – the most expensive US car is maybe $45k if you exclude specialty sports cars, which do not exceed $100k either. Furthermore, the US OEM’s are weak financially and economically. It is very difficult to get innovations into a product if the OEM’s are not open or able to incorporate them.

1. Customers – PNW interest in Green efforts supports customer (consumer and business) demand in Seattle/Bellevue (Washington, Portland (Oregon), and Vancvouver, BC.
And we have the wealth (MS, McCaw, Allen, etc.) to support that demand.

2. Relevant Clusters
Software/Datacomm/Wireless/Systems Analysis – Seattle/Bellevue is the 2nd largest US technology cluster.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels Network (SAFN) = Green fuels forair, ground, & sea.
Aerospace (Boeing & Olympia-Bellingham aerospace supply chain) = light weight vehicle expertise.
“Disruptive Retail” – Costo & Amazon are two disruptive business model players.
Clean Transportation requires some disruptive models (really).
Philanthropic foundations (Gates et. al.) to support effective PNW Clean Transportation and export successful models.
Effective relevant associations – the WCTA, WCC, NW Energy Angels, CTO, etc. can provide the necessary context and support.
