All plant materials selected for this site were appropriate for the geographical location and local climate, their adaptability to drought. Data from WULCOLS III has been used for determining species' plant factor for the water use calculations. 2. Plants with similar water use requirements were grouped together % of landscape areas are planted with low water use plants, the balance with moderate use plants. No high water use plants are used. 4. Irrigation sections/hydrozones are separated by considering plant species factor, plant density and microclimate. If low water use plants are mixed with moderate water use plants in the same hydrozone, the moderate water use factor is used for water use calculations. See Hydrozone exhibit and table. 5. The irrigation system utilizes low-volume distribution system with a master valve, flow sensor, check valves, ET based automatic controllers with Cycle+Soak and water budgeting capability, weather station, rain shut-off. 6. The use of turf is eliminated. All tree, shrub and groundcover areas will be dressed with 2" layer of mulch moisture retention and to discourage weeds. 7. There is no Special Area in this project.
