It was developed by the city of San Diego. It is a tool that estimates the right amount of water to give your landscape or garden every week. It has been designed to give you a schedule for the maximum amount of water which your plants may need each week of the year. For example, in January, your plants may need to be watered for a total of six minutes per week. Come July, they may need 24 minutes per week. The calculator has been simplified by using average numbers for weather, plants, and soils within the urban Southern California area, and should be used as a guide only. | | |  | Water Wiser A comprehensive clearinghouse of resources on water conservation, efficiency and demand management for conservation professionals and the larger water supply community.
