As part of its WaterSense partnership program, the Environmental Protection Agency has developed a tool to guide builders, landscape professionals, and irrigation partners through the water-budget calculations of draft specifications for new water-efficient, single-family homes. The landscape water-budget tool will help determine:
- The amount of water the designed landscape is allowed, or budgeted, based on EPA criteria
- How much water the designed landscape requires based on climate, plant type, and irrigation system efficiency
- Whether the designed landscape meets the budgeted amount
