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?

Hi. I´ve just been answered from GBCI about this doubt that came up when I read your question, btw. The unit should be inches or mm per month. The Reference Guide mentions July, but actually the month to be considered depends on the location of the project and must be the month with higher evapotranspiration rate. Hope is not too late for this reply. Regards.
