The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has initiated a project to develop a new standard, S623, Standardized Procedure for Determining Available Water for Landscapes and Estimating Landscape Water Use.

Those with interest and expertise in the subject matter are invited to participate in the project.

As the demand on water resources and the importance of water use efficiency grows, water agencies, regulators, land owners, landscape managers, and others require a standardized process to determine landscape water supply and demands to address local, regional and national objectives. The new document will standardize the ways in which both
the available water resources and the irrigation requirements are quantified for landscape purposes.
