Water Management:How Much Water Landscapes Really Need, 1 CEU APLD, 1 CEU LA CES, 1 CEU LEED

Presented by: Dennis Pittenger, University of California Cooperative Extension
Friday, March 30th - 9:00 - 10:00 AM

Course Description:

Landscape architects, irrigation specifiers, and landscape management professionals are faced with calculating water budgets and irrigation schedules for landscape projects using climate-based reference evapotranspiration (ETo) data. Many smart irrigation controllers also incorporate algorithms based on this model to derive their irrigation schedules. The calculations that produce these budgets and schedules require multiplying ETo estimates by an adjustment factor, known as a crop coefficient (Kc) or a plant factor (PF), that accounts for plants?EUR??,,????'?????<
