The project we are working on has very small green area and the investor is not planing to install irrigation system, but will have the vegetation manually irrigated with potable water and through hose and valves. Has anyone had the same experience? What irrigation efficiency coefficient have you used for the calculations?
Thanks in advance!

You will have a hard time getting any points here. First you will need to meet the minimum of 5% garden space and planters based on building site area. Than you will need to reduced your water consumption in total and/or potable water.
I'm not sure about the efficiency of the hose. Hopefully some other user can share what they have been using.
