| Abstract/Contents: | "This paper investigates the relationship between socio-economic parameters and applied irrigation water. Irrigation water use was correlated to property value, property size, aerial estimated irrigated area, and existence of a swimming pool. This project includes 142 homes in Pinellas County irrigating with potable water, from the public water supply, 56 of which are participating in a sensor technology irrigation conservation study. To properly evaluate irrigation water based on utility data, outdoor and indoor water was separated from five years of utility water use data. Winter water consumption was assumed to only be indoor use. The subtraction of the minimum winter use allowed for estimated monthly outdoor use. To determine actual irrigation application amounts, the outdoor usage in gallons was then converted into depth, based on irrigated area estimated by a combination of both property appraisal information and measured areas from GIS aerial images. Increased outdoor water use was positively correlated with property value and negatively correlated with irrigated area. These relationships probably exist because on larger homes the economic effect of increased water use is less important to homeowners and on smaller homes the economic penalty for over-irrigating is minimal." |
