MODEL WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE (MWELO)

California State Law requires new construction projects to comply with MWELO

  • Many design detail requirements
  • New construction irrigation plans to include a water budget

Plant types Maximum Applied Water Allowance Estimated Total Water Usage Special Landscape Area = Active Play Areas

MODEL WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE (MWELO)

  • The Department of Water Resources estimates MWELO cuts watering of

commercial landscapes by 35%. Active areas in parks allow 20% more water.

  • For our park projects
