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?

I'm working on a project where the existing site is 100% concrete paving. We are not providing any landscape, thus no irrigation. Does this mean we comply with option 2?

No you are not complying. To comply with the credit intent your site must have atleast 5% landscape/vegetation area of the total site area. Its clearly written in the Bird's Eye View of this credit "Projects with no landscaping are ineligible for the credit".
