program could be implemented in April through October during drought
periods, resulting in a 2.5 to 5 percent reduction in water used for
lawn watering.

strategies to simulate
minimal combination of

the effect

were developed utilizing the above
on the Design Condition deficit. The

Three water conservation scenarios

strategies used the low values in the demand

reduction ranges. The moderate combination of strategies used the low

values for the Long-Term Strategies and the high values for the Emergency

Strategies. The aggressive combination of strategies used the high values

in the reduction ranges. The predicted net reductions in annual demand for

the three scenarios are:

o Minimal (Scenario 1) - 2.9 percent (3.9 percent during drought)

o Moderate (Scenario 2) - 2.9 percent (4.9 percent during drought)

o Aggressive (Scenario 3) - 5.2 percent (7.1 percent during drought)

Comparisons of the Design Condition monthly water demands to the reduced

demands are presented graphically in Figures 4-1 and 4-2. Figure 4-1 shows

the demands resulting from implementation of Long-Term Strategies. Figure

4-2 shows the demands resulting from the additional implementation of

Emergency Strategies during drought periods. Figure 4-3 shows the demand

reductions, in terms of in-house and outdoor use, attainable under drought

conditions (Emergency Strategies in effect).

Depending on the strategies employed, a deficit reduction of 614 to 1,178
AF (from the Design Condition deficit of 2,745 AF) would be possible.
