• Applicant: Center for Resource Conservation
• Project Name: Slow the Flow Colorado 2005: Irrigation Audit Program
• Title: Irrigation Audit Program -- Final Report
• Date: 12/30/2005
• County: Boulder
• Water Efficiency - Doc Type: Final Report

-More than half of the landscapes had less than a 6" root depth for turf indicating the lack of deep
watering (and cycling in the instances of clay soil) in residential settings. This also indicates the lack of
soil amendments in the large proportion of landscapes that have clay soil.

- The amount that landscapes were over watered (% over ET) varied greatly. It is important to note that
even if a landscape was under watered, the system's efficiency could still be increased with adjustments
to pressure, head spacing etc, increasing the DU.
