| Abstract/Contents: | "Excessive outdoor water use results from system inefficiency and poor management. The average water savings potential within Orange County, CA will be benchmarked by examining a sub-sample of water use of approximately 50,000 single family residences, along with six program evaluations. Water budgets (theoretical irrigation need) have been calculated for each meter with respect to weather data. Pre/post implementation comparisons can be made by cross referencing the rebate program database. Examination of "well-maintained" systems will benchmark realistic system efficiency goals. Using predictive ellipses to forecast the water savings of timer rebate program yields a potential for 5% to 11% of total household use at 95% confidence. This analysis suggests that the potential for water savings from management is minimized when the system has greater inefficiencies, and air temperature resulted in the strongest predictive variable of irrigation trends." |
