| Abstract/Contents: | "A landscape irrigation auditing approach is introduced for small communities where funding is insufficient for a full-time irrigation auditing service component of a water conservation program. The overall objective for the program is to help small communities use their available water resources more efficiently. Landscape irrigation is a major component of water use in many communities, so the implementation of a cost-effective program can be economically viable for communities with limited available funding. The combination of contacts, auditing, and reporting information are designed to achieve the highest potential for success in understanding and implementing water conservation practices in urban landscapes. The approach was tested during a pilot study in Douglas, Georgia. Resulting irrigation system and management alternatives indicated at least a 20 percent reduction in expected irrigation water use if all proposed recommendations are implemented across the community. Recommended incentive approaches are provided to encourage adoption of water conservation alternatives." |
