FAQs about WEc1 :

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?

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 have a project located in Istanbul, Turkey. In order to calculate the water consumption for landscaping, we have been looking for the value of the reference evapotranspiration rate ET0 in Istanbul. Does anybody know how to find the ET0 value in Istanbul or in Turkey? Many thanks in advance.

Lara, I'm afraid I don't know of a resource for this. I checked with another expert and he came up empty, too.

In Mexico the National University has some Mexican evapotranspiration rates, I would recommend to go to the National University or a similar institution at Istanbul, they might have information about it. Istanbul is known for having such great landscape architecture so someone must have this kind of information.
