High Water Use Hydrozones contain plants that require supplemental watering on a regular basis throughout the year. These areas
include turf and lawn grasses and are typically characterized by high visibility focal points of landscaping design where High Volume
Irrigation is used. High Water Use Zones shall be placed on a separate irrigation zone.

Moderate Water Use Hydrozones contain plants that, once established, require irrigation every two to three weeks in absence of rainfall or
when they show visible stress such as wilted foliage or pale color. These are typically perennials, seasonal plants and flower beds.
SQ FT % TLA
Low Water Use Hydrozones contain plants that rarely require supplemental watering and that are drought tolerant during extreme dry
periods, such as native shrubs and vegetation, established trees and ground covers, and wooded areas.
At least one (1) moisture sensor shall be located in each Irrigation Zone.
Emitters shall be sized and spaced to avoid excessive overspray on to impervious surfaces.
