4 Introduction The California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) recognizes that water is a precious natural resource and that the key to landscape water conservation is efficient irrigation management. Urban CII Landscape Water Use and Efficiency in California, a study prepared for CLCA by Dr. John B. Whitcomb, suggests that a conversion from turf to other irrigated plants will not necessarily result in lower water use given current water management practices. In other words, efficient irrigation management is generally more important than planting "water efficient" plants. - See More - Most irrigators know that plants and trees suffer without enough water. But do you know that over-watering can take an even greater toll on your landscape? Soggy, water-soaked soil prevents air and nutrients from reaching plant roots and can invite problems like root rot and other plant diseases. Significant water savings can be realized by implementing a few simple practices, often with dramatic results. The CLCA Water Manager Certification Program provides a practical approach that will help you implement efficient watering practices to keep your customer s landscapes green and healthy -- and provide a return on your Investment in Knowledge as well. Today, giving a California Landscape the water it needs -- and only the water it needs -- is a matter of dollars and sense. 4
5 Objectives of Water Management Provide Customers With Good-to- Excellent Landscape Appearance While Using the Right Amount of Water Charge Customers a Fair Price for Water Management Services 5
6 Path to Certification Use this Study Guide and CLCA s Supplemental Files to prepare for the CLCA Water Manager Certification Exam (note: the Exam is also open to non-clca members) Pass the exam, and you will have earned Provisional Certification Status Document that you have operated an actual landscape for 1 year at or under budget, and you can become a Certified Landscape Water Manager (CLWM) Expert Certification Status: (Both standards must be met) Take and pass a more comprehensive Exam. Maintain 5 sites for 12 consecutive months at or under 80% of ETo. Document Continuing On-budget Performance to maintain your Certification status 6
7 Glossary* CIMIS - California Irrigation Management Information System ETo - Reference Evapotranspiration (measured in Inches) GIS - Geographic Information System (provides drawing tools that can be used to measure landscape areas using aerial photos) HCF or CCF - Hundred Cubic Feet = 748 Gallons KGal - One Thousand Gallons = 1,000 Gallons On Budget - A site that meets or exceeds minimum standards as defined here: CLCA On Budget Standard If a local jurisdiction uses different standards, the local standard will prevail. * Comprehensive Glossary provided by the Irrigation Association 7
8 Get On Budget Checklist Five Steps -- Check Them Off As Completed 1. Map & Measure the Site 2. Document Potential Water and Cost Savings 3. Perform Site Inspection and Tune-Up 4. Establish Schedules and Program Controllers 5. Feedback Loop 8
9 Step 1 -- Map and Measure the Site 1. Add Remote Capability to Controllers 2. Map Irrigated Area by Hydrozone Measure the Area of Hydrozones using GIS Tools (such as Google Earth Pro or TerraServer), Aerial Photos (Google Earth) or a Measuring Wheel Create a Site Map by Station and Controller 3. Calculate Baseline Water Budget Register with CIMIS to Obtain Average Monthly ETo Data To determine your Baseline Water Usage, use the CLCA Water Budget Calculator 9
10 Step 2 -- Document Potential Savings 1. Obtain Irrigation Meter (or Mixed Use Meter) Records 2. Compare Baseline Water Use to Recent Water Use 3. Multiply Excess Use by Local Water Rates ($/HCF) 4. Compare Potential Savings (Line 3) to Water Management Costs 5. Use Benefit/Cost Analysis to Decide to Bid Water Management Services Cost of Irrigation Management Start Up & First Year $ 1,250 Each Year $ 600 Three year Cost $ 2,450 Annual Savings at Site $ 1,000 Three year savings $ 3,000 Net benefit $
11 Step 3 -- Perform Site Inspection and Tune-Up 1. Inspect (System Walk-through) Document Problems by Station (see Diagnostic Guide & Photographs) Submit Punchlist to Customer Obtain Customer Approval for Punchlist Repairs 2. Site Tune Up Remove & Replace Damaged Equipment Adjust Pressures at Each Valve (Flow Control) Align (Arcs/Grade) and Straighten Sprinklers Assess Nozzle Correctness and Make Changes Consider Check Valves for Low Elevation Heads 11
12 Step 4 -- Establish Schedules and Program Controllers 1. Assign Each Valve to a Controller Program: Program 1: Turf & Annual Color Program 2: Groundcover & Shrubs Program 3: Shrubs & Trees Program 4: Special (e.g., Natives) 2. Use the CLCA Irrigation Scheduler to set: Minutes per Cycle (Consider Time to Runoff) Cycles Per Day, Days/Week Adjust for Planting Density, Micro-climate, Slope Sample Irrigation Schedule Note: Other software programs including Green Leaf (fees or subscriptions may apply) and Water Budget Manager (free) are available for this purpose. 3. After 1 week with New Schedules on a Test Area, Inspect with Soil Probe; Modify Schedules If Needed 12
13 Step 5 -- Feedback Loop 1. Read Water Meters 1st Week of the Month Submit meter readings to CLCA as directed CLCA will Produce a Monthly Report 2. Irrigation Schedule Adjustments Seasonal Adjustment for Current Month Site Walkthrough Adjustments Soil Probe Used To Inspect Rootzone Wet or Dry Spots Observed Changes in Plant Appearance Adjustment Methods Days Per Week Starts per Day Percent Adjust Key (+/- 20%) 13

23 Basic Principles: Weather Weather causes Plants to withdraw Water from the Rootzone (via root-hairs) which must then be replaced by Irrigation (or Rainfall) Weather Affects Irrigation Requirements through: Solar Radiation Temperature Wind Humidity Rainfall Long Days with Bright, Warm, Windy, Dry Weather Increases Irrigation Water Requirements, while Short Days with Cloudy, Cool, Calm, Humid Weather Decreases Requirements It is difficult for humans to perceive the full effect of recent changes in weather, therefore we use computerized weather stations to provide Quantification of Weather An Excellent Source of Weather Data within California is CIMIS 23
24 Basic Principles: Plants Plants use water (obtained in almost all cases through their roots) to perform numerous chores, ranging from photosynthesis to cooling to providing strength in stems Unfortunately, there are few monocultures in landscaping; you will need to water to the requirement of the plant with the highest Demand The WUCOLS Study by the California Cooperative Extension Service assigned a Water Use Index to thousands of the most common plants: High, Medium, Low and Very Low Water Use The WUCOLS Study suggests that water use can range over a range of 500% or more based on the species of plant being irrigated 24
25 Basic Principles: Soils Soils Support Plants in the Landscape and Provide a Pathway for Nutrients and Water to reach the Plant s Roots A Healthy Soil that is not overly wet also allows Oxygen to reach the roots In Planning Irrigation Schedules, it is important to know how much water can be stored in the rootzone of the plant as well as how fast water can penetrate into the rootzone Soils such as Clays and Sands must be irrigated very differently to achieve good water use efficiency 25
26 Basic Principles: Sprinklers (1 of 2) Water is applied to the landscape at a rate low enough so that it can be stored in the Rootzone using: Sprinklers Drip Emitters Geared Rotors Single Port Impact Rotors Multi-port Rotating Stream Rotors Dripline Fixed & Popup Sprays MicroSpray Bubblers All of these devices can achieve good efficiency with good design, installation, maintenance and scheduling 26
27 Basic Principles: Sprinklers (2 of 2) The Key to achieving good efficiency at any Site is to Inspect and Tune-up the sprinklers to ensure reasonable performance and then to Adjust Schedules Until You are Dialed In Performance is Measured in two ways: How Fast is Water Being Applied = Precipitation Rate How Evenly is Water Being Applied = Distribution Uniformity If Good Judgement and Adjustments Do Not Produce Acceptable Results, Field Tests can Document the Performance of Sprinklers and Provide Better Schedules 27
28 Basic Principles: Controllers (1 of 2) Today s Electronic Irrigation Controllers offer Many Features that can be used to keep a landscape On Budget Today s Controllers typically have: Multiple Programs Multiple Start Times/Cycles A Percentage Adjustment to Track Changes in Weather Even older mechanical clocks, if programmed correctly and updated regularly, can successfully manage irrigations 28
29 Basic Principles: Controllers (2 of 2) Weather-Based Irrigation Controllers (WBIC) are now entering service and they have the potential to greatly improve irrigation management efficiency WBIC receive updated weather data from remote sources or sense local changes in weather parameters and then modify irrigation runtimes accordingly The Key to Success for WBIC is proper installation and calibration of the device so that it knows the applied water requirement of each hydrozone and the actual performance of the sprinklers serving each hydrozone 29
