What is a landscape coefficient?

The landscape coefficient (Kl) adjusts reference ET for specific plant species, microclimate, and density. It equals Ks × Kd × Kmc (species factor × density factor × microclimate factor), as defined by the Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS).

How does a water budget help conserve irrigation?

A water budget allocates a set volume per billing period based on plant needs, weather, and area — not just metered use. Studies show water budget tiered pricing reduces landscape irrigation by 15–30%.
