1. A method for watering plants, the method comprising:
- responsive to receiving a map of an area, determining whether the area needs water using a processing unit;
responsive to a determination that the area needs water, identifying current constraints;
determining whether the current constraints identified allow for watering in the area using the processing system;
responsive to a determination that the current constraints allow for watering in the area, generating a water application plan using the processing system; and
executing the water application plan using a mobile utility vehicle.

Abstract
The different illustrative embodiments provide a method and system for watering plants. A map of an area is received and a determination is made using a processing unit as to whether the area needs water. If the area needs water, current constraints are identified and a determination is made using the processing system as to whether the current constraints allow for watering. If the current constraints allow for watering, a watering solution application plan is generated using the processing system, and the watering solution application plan is executed using a mobile utility vehicle.
