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 have two questions, Should I categorize Cactus as a tree or as a shrub? Can I set all base-case to sprinkler, then the design case is to be dripping?

I would expect in most instances the base-case can be set to sprinklers except where local codes / council requirements prevent. i.e. above ground sprinklers are restricted in some areas of Australia due to water restrictions.
