Abstract/Contents:"As a result of severe budget constraints that jeopardized the health of the City's parks, Colorado Springs Utilities developed a comprehensive water strategy to help maintain a healthier and more sustainable parks system, short and long term. The strategy is a holistic approach to irrigation management that includes: a budget-based rate to encourage efficiency and appropriate management practices; irrigation system evaluations, retrofits, and replacements designed to improve the system's aging infrastructure and incorporate new technologies; and a customized education program that provides the information and tools necessary to ensure effective resource use and initiate a lasting culture of efficiency. This paper highlights the key elements and results of the program. It also provides a valuable case study for other irrigators, business, and homeowners."
