Our project has installed water meters for Irrigation just recently at the start of performance period. The project uses 100% of treated water for Irrigation which is metered. Metered data is available only for 6 months.
1. Should the project comply with the requirement by using option 1? but there is no conventional irrigation system rate available which is required to calculate baseline.or
2. Should the project use option 2 and do manual calculation to prove compliance? but second option is available only for non metered irrigation which is not true in this case. Or
3. Should the project use alternative compliance path?

Option 2 with the theoretical calculation can still be used by teams that have an irrigation meter. The only caution is that you can't compare the metered irrigation use to the theoretical baseline calculation. Instead the comparison has to be between the theoretical calculations for both the baseline and installed cases.
