This will assist the District <br />in meeting its targeted water savings goal of 175 to 220 AFY by 2014, as outlined in <br />Conservation Goal #1 of the District's CWCB-approved Water Conservation Plan. Also, <br />Conservation Goal #3 specifically calls for monitoring of District irrigation water use on <br />parks and open space.
