How much water do you plan to use in the coming year?
"  Commercial and residential outdoor water use in the United States accounts for more than seven billion gallons of water each day, mainly for landscape irrigation. As much as half of that is lost or wasted due to evaporation, wind, or improper irrigation design, installation, maintenance, and scheduling. An efficient irrigation system requires not only water-efficient products, but also proper design, installation, and maintenance.
To address these issues and improve water efficiency in landscapes, WaterSense is now labeling certification programs for irrigation system designers, installation/maintenance professionals, and auditors." From WaterSense (SM) and Landscape Water Use: What's Next October 2006 EPA0832-F-06-032
