Description
This paper examines Marin Municipal Water District’s (MMWD) approach to achieving landscape water use reduction through advocating the inclusion of water management principles in the landscape maintenance contract. Through the implementation of its landscape conservation programs, MMWD has discovered the following: offering financial incentives for upgrading irrigation system components may not result in water savings unless an effective water management program is also instituted; in order to be effective, water management may need to be included in the landscape maintenance contract; and, the knowledge level of both landscape contractors and commercial property owners/managers needs to be raised with regard to the benefits of effective water management.
