| Abstract/Contents: | "After Colorado's severe drought in 2002, water conservation techniques and programs had reached the pinnacle demand generating Slow the Flow Colorado irrigation audit program. This program provides three dimensional services free to residential and commercial sites. It offers educational information to property owners, examines irrigation systems condition and efficiency, and provides water consumption data to the State of Colorado and cities within Boulder County. It was implemented in the city of Boulder during the summer of 2003 and the following summer extended to the county. Data collected includes precipitation rates that range from 0.22"/hr to 3.32"/hr for fixed spray heads and 0.09"/hr to 1.42"/hr for rotary sprinkler heads. Distribution uniformities data ranged from 14% to 92% for fixed spray heads and 16% to 92% for rotary sprinkler heads. These statistics coincide with other irrigation audit programs performed throughout the nation. Water records will be analyzed for water savings from audit in future." |
