Annual Water Use Table - Irrigation Plan#
Instructions
- Irrigated areas for each zone should be a "best estimate," splitting areas between zones as necessary. For drip irrigation, the irrigated area should estimate the area actually wetted by the emitters.
- Determine the average annual water use (in gallons per square foot) by referring to the hydrozones listed on the Water Use Table on the landscape plan.
- Determine the annual total water use (in gallons) by multiplying the irrigated area (in square feet) by the average gallons per square foot for that zone.
- Divide the total water use by the irrigated area to determine overall gallons per square foot (not to exceed 15 gal./s.f.).

Did You Know?
There are 13 stormwater basins within the City of Fort Collins Growth Management Area, each with their own master plan.
Visual indicators of algal blooms in waterbodies often include: surface scum, foam, floating algae mats, off-colors and/or the presence of dead fish.
