| 10882 | Water efficient landscape ordinance (AB 325): a statewide implementation review. A report submitted to the California Urban Water Agencies. | A. Bamezai, R. Perry, C. Pryor, Western Polilcy Research. | 2001 | The survey of 140 cities and 11 counties indicated an inconsistency in standards, implementation and post-construction follow-up. Close to 90 percent of new development between 1992 and 1999 took place in agencies that had adopted a water efficient landscape ordinance. There was a general consensus that since the Act was implemented, landscape designs have been improved using drought tolerant plants and better quality and more efficient irrigation systems. Weaknesses were lack of follow-up after construction is completed and disregard of irrigation and maintenance schedules resulting in over-irrigation. They identified maintenance as the weakest link in the design/installation/maintenance scenario. Many landscape contractors, developers and the general public remain unaware of local ordinances. The report recommends the identification of a position in planning agencies to conduct follow up inspections and audits; education and training for contractors, developers and water agency staff; and improvements in the ordinances in structure and coverage. | 1 | 04.02.01.01.01 - .04 | |

This will stop irrigation when the root zone is at a predetermined level of moisture content, thereby saving water that would normally be wasted by over irrigation when using a time clock-driven controller.-Accomplish this water saving with effective, dependable, and economical technology. | 1 | 04.04.02.10.01 | ||

| 10816 | Toilet Flapper Study - December 2004 | Koeller & Company | 2004 | This study and report are an outgrowth of concerns that have developed over the past 10 years regarding the vulnerability of toilet flush valve seals (commonly termed flappers) to normal aging, to possible degradation caused by consumers' use of in-tank bowl cleaning tablets, and to tampering and replacement. It is the belief of many water conservation practitioners that these factors are resulting in seal failure, leakage, and excessive flush volumes in 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) toilets. These, then, could result in a serious decline or "decay" in the water-efficiency of the toilet fixture, thereby negating the water savings that had been predicted by the water utilities subsidizing toilet replacements. This study is intended to supplement previous work in this area, answer questions about the frequency of seal failure and flush volumes of aging toilets, and provide a basis for further quantification of water losses (if any) resulting from seal failure. | 2 | 05.03.01.01.01 - .02 | |

| 10834 | The Residential Runoff Reduction Study, Jul. 2004 | Municipal Water District of Orange County and Irvine Ranch Water District | 2004 | Based upon the findings of an earlier study, Irvine Ranch Water District and Municipal Water District of Orange County partnered on new research, the Residential Runoff Reduction (R3). This study had four primary purposes: 1) To test the use of weather-based irrigation technology, also known as ET controllers, to manage irrigation water for residential homes and large landscape areas; 2) To evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted education program on residential homeowners; 3) To determine the correlation between proper water application in landscape irrigation and the quantity and quality of urban dry-season runoff; and 4) To gauge the acceptance of water management via the controller technology. Weather-based controllers resulted in water savings of 41 gallons per day in typical residential settings and 545 gpd for larger dedicated landscape irrigation accounts. Reduction in runoff was 50% caomparing pre-intervention and posst-intervention periods and 71% in comparison to the control group. In terms of cost effectiveness, initial targets for program expansion should be large landscapes such as parks and street medians. | 1 | 04.04.03.17.01 - .02 | |

HydroPoint and AquaConserve appeared to minimize runoff by using short duration cycles, compared to WeatherSet's very long run times. There is a potential to achieve substantial water savings, but all controllers might require some adjusting. | 1 | 04.04.02.06.01 | |

The Southern Nevada Water Authority's Water Smart Landscape Program produced a 37% positive return, bringing in $1.58 for each $1.00 spent on rebate incentives, freeing up local water resources for immediate use. The averages savings of 30% (96,000 gallons) annually for those who converted from turf to xeriscape. Residents applied 73 gal/sq ft/year to turf, 17.2 gal/sq ft/yr to xeric landscapes, a per unit area savings of 55.8 gal/sq ft/yr. The savings were most pronounced in summer. Total yearly savings neither eroded or improved across the years. The average cost to convert was $1.55/sq ft, homeowner installed $1.37, contractor installed $1.93. The xeric ETo was about 33% of the ETo of turf. The average savings in landscape management was 2.2 hours per month and $206 per year in maintenance expeditures. | 1 | 04.03.04.10.01 | |

Jul. 2002 | US EPA | 2002 | In 1995 Albuquerque adopted the Water Conserving and Water Waste Ordinance that established a 20% turf limit for residences and required all new city properties except parks and golf courses to landscape with 100% low and medium water using plants. Combined with a new conservation-based water rate structure, a public education program, a high-efficiency plumbing program, they successfully slowed down the draw down of the groundwater supply and reduced per person usage 23% from 250 gallons per person per day (946 liters) in 1995 to 193 gpcd (730 liters) in 2003. | 1 | ||

An 'oasis' landscape (a mix of mesic and xeric) was preferred over high water using (mesic) or desert (xeric) designs. Heavy irrigation and frequent pruning raise water use. Homeowners often over water plants. Plant spacing, vegetative cover, plant size and growth rate can be more important determinates in water use than plant selection. | 1 | ||

| 10920 | Landscapers suffer as drought lingers throughout the West, strategies for a water crunch, May 2004 | S. Shore, Associated Press | 2004 | About 2,000 landscaping jobs in Colorado were lost between 2002 and 2003 because of continuing drought conditions, in the $1.67 billion industry including landscaping, nurseries, garden centers and commercial florists with revenues dropping $60 million. To increase business, some landscapers have added artificial turf to their businesses as well as designing landscapes with drought-tolerant plants and emphasizing more efficient irrigation systems. Sales of container gardens and drought tolerant plants soared. S. Nevada Water Authority banned sod planting in new residential front yards, limited grass to 50% in back yards, and offered rebates of $1 per square foot for turf removal. | 1 | ||
| 10922 | A comparison of municipal forest benefits and costs in Modesto and Santa Monica. | Urban Forestry and Urban Greening. | 2002 | Presents a comparison of the structure, function and value of trees in Modesto and Santa Monica. Net annual benefits: $2.2 million and $805,732 and benefit-cost ratios 1.85:1 and 1.52:1. Aesthetics and increased property values accounted for 50% and 80% of total annual benefits. Environmental benefits related to energy savings, storm water runoff reduction and air quality improvements were quite evenly distributed among the remainder. Expenditures for pruning accounted for about 50% of annual costs. | 1 | ||
| 10923 | Trees in Glendale are paying huge dividends, Feb. 2005 | P. Peper, J. Geiger, Center for Urban Forest Research, USDA Forest Service news release. | 2005 | Study by CUFR found that Glendale residents receive $2.41 in environmental benefits for every dollar the city invests in the care and maintenance of city trees. Healthy trees improve air quality, lower summer temperatures, decrease the need for air conditioning, and reduce stormwater runoff. They also contribute toward increased real estate values, provide neighborhoods with a unique identity, increase business income, increase community attractiveness, reduce stress, reduce crime and provide recreational opportunities. Glendale's trees intercept 1 million gallons of rain per year, reducing runoff. Mature mesquites intercept about 1,600 gallons annually, but only consume about 1,100 gallons through irrigation. Because the price of irrigation water is one-quarter the cost of controlling stormwater per gallon, the annual watershed benefit is over four times greater than the irrigaiton cost, $7.70 vs $1.85 per tree. | 1 | ||
