Landscape Water Management Programs

Landscape audits - are available for commercial customers with large landscapes.  A landscape water audit includes a visit to the
landscape, an inventory of sprinklers on each valve/circuit, and catch-can tests to determine the precipitation rate and distribution uniformity of the sprinklers.  The catch- can volumes are measured, recorded and entered into software developed by the Irrigation and Training Research Center of Cal Poly.  A report is prepared for the program participant with a proposed irrigation schedule for turf areas, based on Petaluma's CIMIS  weather station  at Rooster Run Golf Course. This irrigation technique allows for healthy turf grass without water waste.
