This paper examines Marin Municipal Water District's (MMWD) approach to
achieving landscape water use reduction through advocating the inclusion of water
management principles in the landscape maintenance contract. Through the implementation
of its landscape conservation programs, MMWD has discovered the following: offering
financial incentives for upgrading irrigation system components may not result in
water savings unless an effective water management program is also instituted; in
order to be effective, water management may need to be included in the landscape maintenance
contract; and, the knowledge level of both landscape contractors and commercial property
owners/managers needs to be raised with regard to the benefits of effective
water management.
