| Abstract/Contents: | "The purpose of this paper and ensuing presentation is to demonstrate what can and cannot be accomplished through irrigation auditing. Irrigation Auditing is frequently misunderstood and often undervalued. In our region the value of outdoor auditing often gets lost when compared to the barrage of indoor water audits and toilet replacement programs to save water. This paper seeks to illuminate what an irrigation audit can provide and present sound rationale for investing in an irrigation auditing program. Creating more informed end users and painting a more complete picture of the positive impacts of irrigation auditing will result in greater investment in the process. Experience both in the field and with clients will be presented to create the business case for irrigation auditing. Audit information from institutional green spaces will be included to show the water savings available as recommendations are implemented. For anyone living where potable water is still the prevalent source for irrigation, being able to keep more water in the pipes is a particularly powerful tool." |
