Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this study was to determine the irrigation savings, if any, of water restrictions in southwest Florida that limited irrigation to once per week as compared to twice per week. This research is based on a previous study of 225 customers in Tampa, Florida and was expanded to include all potable water customers without access to reuse in the City of Tampa and Northwest Hillsborough County, Florida. Monthly water billing records and daily weather data were used to estimate irrigation demands and requirements. Although there is some evidence that water restrictions reduced the irrigation used by high irrigators, the difference in irrigation use of all customers as a whole was not appreciable under one day per week watering restrictions as opposed to two day per week watering restrictions." |
