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?

NC-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Landscaped park across from project building

Our project is an historic building in downtown NYC. The owners of the building are contributing to the restoration of the small park directly across the street from the building. Would it be possible to include this landscaping as part of the calculation of the site area although technically the park is not part of the building site?

Alfred, you would need to include the park in your LEED project boundary in order to take credit for it. Which might be reasonable if it's in the scope of the construction project, although it might be awkward and better avoided if it is under different ownership. More on boundaries in MPR2.
