Research Synthesis: Residential Benchmarks for minimal landscape water use
Goals and Objectives
 
The goal of this project is to document state-of-the-art research, research gaps and recommended studies as they relate to establishing benchmarks for minimum water requirements of residential landscapes. A synthesis report will bew prepared describing current state of the art research, best practices, research gaps, and suggested studies/research that will provide scientific support for understanding how benchmarks will help determine potential savings through outdoor conservation efforts and contribute to new BMPs for Florida.
