FAQs about WEc1 :

Can non-potable well water that is used for irrigation contribute to potable water reduction?

Can surface water, such as water from an irrigation ditch or a local creek, be used as nonpotable water?

Do interior planters count in the calculation?

We are using non-potable water for irrigation. For drought conditions, can we hook up to a potable water source for backup and still earn this credit?

NC-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Definition of "on the grounds"

IMO the question what the 5% area requirement refers has been clarified (see post headed"Full credits achieveable for less than 1% landscape?" futher down below). What stays is the definition "on the ground". Assuming a project where the plot has a basement on 100% of the plot size. But there are no portable planters / pots or similar, but the project installs a planting bed with a depth of approx. 1.5 meters. IMO this would be vegetation on the ground and not a planter. Any thoughts on this?

Yes, it sounds like regular planted vegetation and not a planter.
