| Abstract/Contents: | "An extensive radio and television water conservation campaign was initiated in 1999 when a dry year turned into a six year drought. Irrigation system audits of commercial properties were made free to the public by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District and its partners. Upon examination of water use records over a three year period, 106 large water use properties were able to reduce their seasonal water use per landscape acre by 14.9%. After receiving an irrigation system audit, properties were able to save 10.1% the year of the audit and 4.8% the year following the audit. One elementary school was audited before and after installation of a new weather-station based system. Landscape water was reduced from 1,254,528 to 712,206 gallons per acre. This 56% reduction in culinary water use brought the school down to within 14% of the evapotranspiration rate for that year." |
