Abstract
Study Goal – Increase the volume of water saved by the Utah State University (USU) Extension landscape Water Check program because outdoor water use is the largest component of residential use with the largest opportunity to reduce use. We used 5-second water use data collected with Flume Smart Home Water Monitoring devices (Figure 1) at residential homes before and after a Water Check (Box 1; Figure 2) to answer four questions:
-
How much water did households save?
-
Which Water Check recommendations did participants implement?
-
Why did participants implement some recommendations and not others?
-
How to further reduce landscape water use?
