How Disneyland’s weather station helps save water and keep 1,000 floral beds blooming
Keeping Disneyland’s 17,000 trees green and 1,000 floral beds blooming takes a mammoth effort by the Anaheim theme park’s horticulture team that’s focused on reducing water consumption during Southern California’s latest drought. Constant readings from Disneyland’s weather station in the Toy Story parking lot combined with a sophisticated irrigation control system have allowed the horticulture team to cut water usage by 13% compared to the same period last year, according to Disneyland officials. … Disneyland is currently ahead of schedule on its commitment to reducing irrigation usage by 11% under a plan approved by the state, according to Disneyland officials.
