Presentation

A guide for calculating the water needs of landscapes to optimize irrigation practices. It provides a methodology for estimating the amount of water required based on factors such as local climate, plant types, soil conditions, and irrigation system efficiency. The guide explains how to use reference evapotranspiration data (ET), adjust for specific site conditions, and apply water efficiency measures to reduce over-irrigation. This resource is aimed at water managers, landscapers, and property owners who seek to conserve water while maintaining healthy landscapes, particularly in areas prone to drought or water scarcity.

Provides a framework for helping communities recover from drought and build long-term resilience against future droughts. It offers guidance on assessing the impacts of drought, restoring water systems, and implementing recovery strategies. Key topics include evaluating damages, securing funding for recovery, and promoting sustainable water management practices. Additionally, the guide highlights the importance of community engagement, collaboration with local and regional partners, and fostering adaptive strategies to minimize the effects of future droughts. This resource is designed to help communities emerge stronger and better prepared for future drought events.

A guide for communities to proactively address the challenges of drought. It focuses on building resilience and readiness by encouraging early planning and action. The guide outlines essential steps such as assessing drought risks, identifying vulnerable areas, and developing conservation strategies to reduce water demand. It also emphasizes the importance of long-term water management, public awareness campaigns, and collaboration with regional and state agencies. By following this resource, communities can strengthen their capacity to manage droughts effectively and safeguard water supplies.
