Abstract/Contents: | "Residential water use is increasing in central Florida. Irrigation accounts for 50% or more of typical residential use volume. The goal of this project is to document irrigation water use and system uniformity in the Central Florida Ridge region. Three types of irrigation/landscape combinations are being installed: T1, typical irrigation and landscape; T2, well designed irrigation system and typical landscape; T3, well designed irrigation system and a landscape designed to minimize water use. To date, seven T1's and three T3's exist. Initial results indicate that 80% of water use is irrigation. Measured distribution uniformities (DUlq) are lower than Mobile Irrigation Lab reports and may be classified as 'good' (n=1), fair ['fair'] (n=3), 'poor' (n=3), and 'fail' (n=1) on the homes tested. Over irrigation was common among home sites." |
