| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a model that "has been developed to demonstrate a realistic sense of magnitude and the economics of residential water savings by installing soil moisture sensors on automatic irrigation timers." Describes the "data used in the model [which] is derived from conservation literature, brochures and studies mostly conducted in California." States that "the model shows total household water use to be approximately 350 gallons per day." Concludes that "the model demonstrates that an average savings from retrofitting ultra low volume toilets may be 11 percent of total household use with a 6 year payback period and that an average savings from retrofitting ultra low flow shower heads may be 7 percent of total household use with a 6 months payback period." |
