But, unlike other parts of the country that receive rainfall year-round, here in the Portland metro area we typically receive the least amount of rainfall during the summer months &ndash; a time of year when our outdoor water usage is at its highest.</p>\r\n<p>The Portland metro area gets about 37 inches of rainfall annually and typically we receive about 90% of that rainfall from October to May &ndash; a time of year when we don&rsquo;t need extra water to irrigate our gardens or lawns.&nbsp; Because of this seasonal rainfall pattern, and their limited storage capacity, rain barrels are not the most effective water conservation method for our region.</p>\r\n<p>A typical rain barrel holds about <strong>55 gallons</strong>.&nbsp; This may initially seem like a lot of water, but take a moment to consider your landscape&rsquo;s water needs and you may find that it will take far more rain barrels to water your landscape than you initially thought.</p>\r\n<p>We recommend watering an established lawn about <strong>1 inch</strong> of water each week (a bit more in hot, dry weather).&nbsp; So, if you have a 100 square foot patch of lawn you will need about 62 gallons a week to water the recommended 1 inch.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Assuming you will water this grass from May-September, you will need to collect at least 1300 gallons of water. That translates to about 24 rain barrels!</p>\r\n<p>And, while this seems like a lot of water, it may actually only be a fraction of the water that will run off your roof and through your downspouts in a typical year.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><em>For example, a roof with a 1000 square foot area will yield about 620 gallons of water in a 1 inch rain event &ndash; enough to fill a 55 gallon rain barrel 11 times.&nbsp; Considering our annual rainfall, that roof could yield more than 417 rain barrels each year!</em></p>\r\n<p><strong>So, now what?</strong><br />\r\n	If your original goal for installing a rain barrel or two was to conserve water, don&rsquo;t despair!&nbsp; Though rain barrels are not the most effective conservation method &ndash; they will help save some water.</p>\r\n<p>We also recommend checking out some more effective water conservation alternatives such as installing sprinkler controllers and rain sensors, or using a hose with a shut-off nozzle.&nbsp; You can find out about these and other water conservation tips&nbsp;under the&nbsp;<a href=\"/outdoors\">outdoor</a> and&nbsp;<a href=\"/indoors/\">indoor</a> sections of this website.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h2>Rain Barrel FAQs</h2>\r\n<p><strong>What is a rain barrel?</strong><br />\r\n	Rain barrels are containers that divert and collect rain water that otherwise would flow off a roof, through gutters and downspouts and become runoff.&nbsp; Water captured in rain barrels is typically used for outdoor irrigation purposes.</p>\r\n<p>Rain barrels come in a wide variety of materials (plastic and wood are the most common), designs, and colors. Common sizes for residential use are 55 to 90 gallons. Prices range from about $50 for do-it-yourself kits and up to several hundred dollars for ready-made rain barrels.&nbsp; A quick Internet search of &ldquo;rain barrels&rdquo; will bring up numerous informative sites and retailers.&nbsp; We have also developed resources section on the back of this brochure to get you started.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Will I save money on water by installing a rain barrel? </strong><br />\r\n	In short, no.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here in the greater Portland metro area we are fortunate to have relatively inexpensive water. <em>(Check your water bill for actual cost.&nbsp; Many providers combine water and sewer costs on the same bill, so be sure you are looking at the water section only.)&nbsp; </em></p>\r\n<p>Once you know the cost of your water you can figure out how long it will take you to recoup the cost of the rain barrel.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><em>For example, let&rsquo;s say you have a 55 gallon rain barrel that cost you $90.&nbsp; If your water provider charges $1.97 per CCF,* you would save an average of $.14 each time the rain barrel filled.&nbsp; Using this example, you would have to fill the rain barrel 643 times just to break even on the cost of the barrel.&nbsp; At a rate of emptying and filling the barrel 50 times a year &ndash; it would take almost 13 years to make your money back!&nbsp;&nbsp; (*Most water providers measure water in CCF.&nbsp; One CCF represents 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons of water.&nbsp; Check your bill for the rate your provider charges per CCF.)</em></p>\r\n<p>Beyond the initial cost for the rain barrel, there are additional maintenance costs that should be considered.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Where can collected rain water be used?</strong><br />\r\n	Collected rain water is commonly used for exterior, non-potable purposes, such as irrigation. Typically no permit is required for irrigation use; however, be sure to check local codes and ordinances on the use of rain barrels before you do any disconnections or alterations to your property. There are differing opinions about using water from a rain barrel on edible plants such as vegetables, fruits or herbs.&nbsp; Be sure to do some research to determine what option is right for you.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What should I do with the rainwater I can&rsquo;t collect? </strong><br />\r\n	A typical 55-gallon rain barrel will capture only a fraction of roof runoff, so be sure to include an option for overflow into your plan.&nbsp; Some rain barrels are set up to divert excess water into another rain barrel or back into the storm drain once they are full.&nbsp; Another option is to send your overflow into your yard making sure that it drains away from your foundation to a safe discharge location.&nbsp; Rain gardens are also becoming a popular way to incorporate rainwater runoff into your landscape (See the resources section on the back of this brochure for more info).&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h2>Resources</h2>\r\n<p>A quick Internet search of &ldquo;rain barrels&rdquo; will bring up numerous informative sites and retailers.&nbsp; Here are a few more to get you started.</p>\r\n<p>Overviews:<br />\r\n	<a href=\"http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=182095\">http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=182095</a><br />\r\n	<a href=\"http://www.savingwater.org/docs/rainbarrels.pdf\">http://www.savingwater.org/docs/rainbarrels.pdf</a></p>\r\n<p>Tutorials:<br />\r\n	<a href=\"http://nwrenovation.com/how-tos/create-a-rain-barrel-collection-system/\">http://www.nwrenovation.com/21rainbarrel.html</a></p>\r\n<p>Rain Gardens:<br />\r\n	<a href=\"http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=25102\">http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=25102</a></p>\r\n','<h1>Rain Barrels</h1>\r\n<h2>What you should know about rain barrels and water conservation if you live in the Portland metro area</h2>\r\n<p>It&rsquo;s true that it rains a lot in the Pacific Northwest.&nbsp; But, unlike other parts of the country that receive rainfall year-round, here in the Portland metro area we typically receive the least amount of rainfall during the summer months &ndash; a time of year when our outdoor water usage is at its highest.</p>','',1343253212,2),(11,11,4,'News & Events','<h1>News &amp; Events</h1>\r\n<p>This section is designed to keep you &ldquo;in the know&rdquo; with what is going on in the water conservation world.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h2>Interested in learning water efficient gardening techniques?&nbsp;</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Stop by one of our tabling events</strong> and pick up our water efficient plant guide, a watering gauge kit and other informative materials.

If your home is older than 1992, chances are you have high-water-use fixtures. Replace these older fixtures to save energy, money and water — up to 30% on indoor water use alone. </p>\r\n<h3>Low Flow and High Efficiency Toilets </h3>\r\n<p>Whether remodeling a bathroom, starting construction of a new home, or simply replacing an old, leaky toilet that is wasting money and water you may want to consider installing a low flow or high efficiency toilet (HET). </p>\r\n<p>Older toilets can use anywhere from 3.5–7 gallons per flush. Ultra-low-flow toilets (ULFTs) use only 1.6 gallons per flush, delivering a water savings of more than 50% while functioning the same or better than non-ULF toilets. </p>\r\n<p>New HET go beyond the federal standard of 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) by using 1.28 gpf, and are certified through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <a href=\"http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/het.htm\">Watersense</a> program which uses a third party to test the toilets for both performance and efficiency. </p>\r\n<p>Unlike first generation &amp;lquo;low–flow&amp;rquo; toilets, design advances enable WaterSense labeled <a href=\"http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm\">HETs</a> to save water with no trade-off in flushing power. In fact, many perform better than standard toilets in consumer testing. </p>\r\n<p>If every home in the United States replaced one old toilet with a new HET, we would save more than 900 billion gallons of water per year, equal to more than two weeks of flow over Niagara Falls! </p>\r\n<h3>Low-flow Showerheads</h3>\r\n<p>Showers account for up to half of a home’s hot water use. With low-flow showerheads, you can continue to enjoy an invigorating shower and still save water and energy. That means lower water and energy bills! Low-flow showerheads increase water velocity while dispersing it into many tiny droplets, so you still get a brisk shower with less water. </p>\r\n<h3>Faucet Aerators</h3>\r\n<p>Older faucets typically use 5–7 gallons per minute. Newer faucets required by law in new construction use about 2.5 gallons per minute. Any of these kitchen or bathroom faucets can be replaced with inexpensive, low-flow faucet aerators that mix air with the water to make an effective spray pattern while still saving significantly on water use. </p>\r\n<h3>High-efficiency Washing Machines</h3>\r\n<p>A typical household does nearly 400 loads of laundry a year. With a new high-efficiency washing machine, all those loads require up to 60% less water and 40% to 50% less energy. These new washing machines are front-loading and fill only partially, rotating the clothes through the water. These models use less than half the amount of water as conventional washers, and save energy by heating less water and spinning your clothes more efficiently so they have less moisture going into the dryer. </p>\r\n<p>Make sure to check out the State of Oregon Residential Energy Tax Credit program. Qualified new washing machines result in tax credits of $120 to $210, depending on the model.

The density of clay means water is absorbed slowly and tends to run off. Sandy soils, on the other hand, have such large air spaces between sand particles that they do not hold water or nutrients well.</p>\r\n<h2>Soil Amendments</h2>\r\n<p>Soil amendments, such as mulch and compost, are key to transforming our clay or sandy loam soil into healthy, water absorbent soil.</p>\r\n<p><a id=\"mulch\" name=\"Mulches\"></a><strong>Mulches</strong> come in two forms: organic and inorganic. Organic mulches (e.g. aged manure, bark chips, wood chips) enhance the soil&#39;s ability to store water, and are preferred over inorganic mulches (e.g. rock, concrete, wood, gravel)&nbsp; which can also re&ndash;radiate the sun&rsquo;s heat and can lead to greater water needs for surrounding plants.</p>\r\n<p>Organic mulches cover and cool the soil, minimizing evaporation, soil erosion, and weed growth. If the mulch is too deep, water can have a difficult time reaching the plant roots (about 3 inches is recommended). Consult your nursery about the best type of mulch for your yard and plants.</p>\r\n<p><a id=\"compost\" name=\"Compost\"></a><strong>Compost</strong> can be created by trading in your garbage can or disposal for a composting bin. Simply add your homemade compost to your soil at planting time. The compost will provide nutrients for your plants and increase the water&ndash;holding capabilities of your soil, which reduces the need to water and fertilize.</p>\r\n<h2>&nbsp;Resources</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n		<div><a href=\"http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=553\">Metro</a> (Home composting information and resources)</div>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		<div>Better Soil, Less Toil <a href=\"http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=27589 \" title=\"Better soil less toil article\">article</a></div>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		<div><a href=\"http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/?ss=16&amp;navtype=SUBNAVIGATION&amp;cid=nrcs143_023585&amp;navid=220120000000000&amp;pnavid=220000000000000&amp;position=Not%20Yet%20Determined.Html&amp;ttype=detail&amp;pname=mulching.html%20%7C%20NRCS\">National Resources Conservation Service</a> (Information and resources related to mulching)</div>\r\n	</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n','<h1>Healthy Soil Tips</h1>\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/images/outdoor_compost.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left\" />As little as a 5% increase in organic matter such as <a href=\"#mulch\">mulch</a> or <a href=\"#compost\">compost</a> can quadruple your soil&#39;s ability to absorb and store water.&nbsp; While this is important for the health and well being of your landscape, it can also reduce your water usage.</p>','',1343253120,2),(48,48,4,'Lawn - Landing Page','<h1>Lawns</h1>\r\n<h2>Is Yours Earning Its Keep?</h2>\r\n<p><img alt=\"Man caring for lawn\" height=\"145\" src=\"/sites/default/files/images/lawn.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px\" width=\"200\" />Ah, the American lawn.&nbsp; It is as much a part of our national tradition as apple pie and baseball.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Look in any community across the nation, and you are likely to see lawns incorporated into our home landscapes, parks, recreation fields, and more.</p>\r\n<p>And, why not?&nbsp; When planted with thoughtful design, lawns can be a beautiful and practical addition to the landscape.

Here in the Portland metro area, our water consumption is at its highest during the summer months &ndash; often doubling or tripling - due to outdoor watering.</p>\r\n<p>Oftentimes this is because people don&rsquo;t know how much water their landscape needs. And, it&rsquo;s one reason why irrigation &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s a single sprinkler attached to a hose or a sophisticated underground irrigation system &mdash; is a key component to your water conservation efforts.</p>\r\n<p>Below are some basic watering tips to get you started.</p>\r\n<h2>What time of day should I water my garden or landscape?</h2>\r\n<p>You should water your garden or landscape before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. when temperatures are cooler and the air is calmer so that evaporation is kept to a minimum.</p>\r\n<h2>How often should I water my garden or landscape?</h2>\r\n<p>We recommend watering established landscapes twice a week. Watering thoroughly, but infrequently, will help roots go deeper, resulting in more water&ndash;efficient, drought&ndash;tolerant plants. Newer plantings, vegetables, and potted plants may need more frequent watering.</p>\r\n<h2>How much should I water my garden or landscape?</h2>\r\n<p>The amount you water your garden or landscape should be based on your garden&rsquo;s soil conditions and your plant&rsquo;s water needs. On average, we recommend watering your lawn about an inch a week &ndash; a bit more during long, hot, dry spells and a bit less during the cooler spring and fall.&nbsp; Trees, shrubs, and perennials typically don&rsquo;t need water as frequently, however they may require more volume at each cycle, so it is best to check with your local garden center or landscape professional on your plant&rsquo;s specific water needs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>You can use <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/measure-your-sprinklers-water-use-watering-gauges\">watering gauges</a> or tuna cans to determine how long it will take your sprinkler to water an inch. Another key to watering efficiently is to regularly adjust your <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/program-your-sprinkler-system\">watering schedule</a> as the weather changes. You can use the Consortium&rsquo;s <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/weekly-watering-number\">Weekly Watering Number</a> as a guideline for how much to water your garden or landscape throughout the irrigation season. Most automatic irrigation systems have controllers that allow you to easily <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/program-your-sprinkler-system\">adjust your watering schedule</a>.</p>\r\n<h2>What do I do if run off or puddling occurs while watering my garden or landscape?</h2>\r\n<p>Here in the Pacific Northwest, soils are typically clay or sandy loam which means that it may take longer for water to penetrate into them. If this is the case with your garden or landscape&rsquo;s soil, then you may have to adjust your watering schedule so that you are only applying the amount of water that your soil can absorb each time that you water. Run off and puddling are visible cues that water is being applied at a quicker rate than it can be absorbed.</p>\r\n<p>If this occurs, you may want to use a &ldquo;cycle and soak&rdquo; pattern for your watering. To do this, apply water in several shorter sessions each day that you water. This will allow the water to soak gradually into the soil in between the watering sessions.

These sprinklers are more water-efficient than sprinklers that spray a fine mist and lose a lot of water through evaporation. Drip irrigation is a great alternative for trees, shrubs, perennials and groundcovers. Little or no water is lost to evaporation as the water is applied at ground level, near plant roots.</p>\r\n<p>A well-planned&nbsp;watering system can help you avoid over watering, which not only wastes water but can be harmful to your plants.&nbsp; Knowing how much water your plants need, and periodically monitoring and maintaining&nbsp;your irrigation system are the keys to saving both water and money.</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Soaker Hoses</strong> &ndash; Most gardeners are familiar with soaker hoses, which sweat water along their entire length.&nbsp; Soaker hoses can be used to thoroughly water dense plantings or individual plants. You can also customize a watering system to your garden by attaching soaker hoses to solid hoses. This way, you avoid wasting water in areas that do not need it.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Drip System</strong> &ndash; Drip irrigation is the most water-efficient way to irrigate many different plantings. It is an ideal way to water in clay soils because the water is applied slowly, allowing the soil to absorb the water and avoid runoff. Drip devices use a fraction of the water that overhead spray devices use. &ldquo;Point source&rdquo; drip systems are comprised of drip tubing that is laid throughout a planting bed and feeds water directly to the base of the plants at a rate the soil can absorb without losing water to misting, overspray, or runoff.<br />\r\n		<br />\r\n		There are many different types of drip equipment, including drippers, bubblers, soakers (inline emitters), and micro-sprayers. Drip systems can be customized to meet each plant&rsquo;s needs. However, you should not mix different equipment in the same zone or distribution line, if possible. In other words, you wouldn&rsquo;t put inline emitter pipe in the same zone with bubblers. Use separate zones for each type of equipment.<br />\r\n		<br />\r\n		The discharge rate of drip emitters varies from one-half gallon per hour to two gallons per hour and depends on the plant and its size, as well as the soil type. Micro-sprayers use much more water &mdash; up to 15 gallons per hour, but still much less than above-ground sprinklers. Generally, you will need at least one emitter device for every two-and-a-half feet of plant canopy.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Traditional Automatic Spray System</strong> &ndash; Among traditional automatic spray systems are pop-up spray heads that can be adjusted to spray a full circle, half circle or quarter circle. The disadvantage of spray heads is that they are often less efficient than rotor heads or drip systems, because they put water down on the ground faster than our clay soil can absorb it.<br />\r\n		<br />\r\n		Whatever heads you use, you want to make sure they are spaced so that each head sprays to the next head, or what is called &ldquo;head-to-head&rdquo; coverage. All heads should be of the same type and by the same manufacturer to get uniform distribution of water.</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		<p><strong>Rotor System</strong> &ndash; Rotor systems are generally more efficient than spray heads. They apply water at a much slower rate than spray heads, allowing the soil to absorb moisture more efficiently. In the past, rotors haven&rsquo;t been used for smaller turf areas, but there are new rotors specifically designed to apply water at less than half-an-inch per hour, and with a radius of less than 15 feet. Application patterns and radius are adjustable, which can conform to odd-shaped areas.</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Other Water&ndash;saving Outdoor Products You Can Find At Almost Any Home or Garden Center:</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Filters </strong>&ndash; Filters are necessary for some equipment, especially drip, to keep particles from clogging up the equipment.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Pressure regulators</strong> &ndash; Pressure regulators may also be necessary as some equipment functions better at lower pressure than pressure coming from the source.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Rain Sensors</strong> &ndash; We have all seen automatic sprinklers systems running while it is raining.&nbsp;&nbsp; As the name implies, rain sensors make sure that doesn&rsquo;t happen by measuring rainfall and signaling the system not to water until the rain has stopped and the water from the rain has evaporated. Once this is completed the sensor signals the system to resume its programmed watering schedule.&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Rain gauges</strong> &ndash; These add-ons to your irrigation system automatically shut off the system when it rains.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Manual hose bib timers</strong> &ndash; These timers connect to a hose and automatically shut off your sprinklers after a predetermined length of time.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Soil moisture sensors</strong> &ndash; These sensors are placed in the soil at strategic locations, and they prevent your irrigation system from starting when the soil is sufficiently moist.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Soil polymers</strong> &ndash; When placed in the soil, these materials absorb water, allowing roots to draw moisture as needed. Polymers are most effective for potted plants or sandy soil.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Other Things You Should Know:</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><a name=\"backflow\"></a>Cross Connection (Backflow) Protection</strong> &ndash; All irrigation systems are required to have backflow protection installed and most must be inspected annually.&nbsp; Backflow protection prevents the mixing of irrigation water that may have been exposed to fertilizers and other outdoor chemicals with drinking water.&nbsp; Contact your local <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\">water provider</a> for specific information on rules and regulations - be sure to ask for the cross connection or back flow specialist.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n','<h1>Types of Sprinkler Systems</h1>\r\n<p>When choosing a sprinkler or irrigation system, consider selecting one that sends large drops of water close to the ground.

So, here are some tips to help you save time, water, and money this holiday season:</p>\r\n<p><strong>1. Use a large bowl or tub filled with water instead of letting the faucet run </strong>when washing veggies, thawing food or rinsing dishes. You will save about 2.5 gallons for every minute your faucet does not run.</p>\r\n<p><strong>2. Let your dishwasher do the work.</strong>The average dishwasher uses about 10 gallons or less per load.&nbsp; Many kitchen faucets use the same amount of water by running for just four minutes. So, kick back and let your dishwasher do the work<strong>!</strong></p>\r\n<p><strong>3. Wash only full loads. </strong>Dishwashers use about the same amount of energy and water regardless of the number of dishes inside, so run full loads whenever possible. The same is true when it comes to doing laundry!</p>\r\n<p><strong>4. Scrape instead of pre-rinsing. </strong>Scraping food off your dishes instead of pre-rinsing them can save about 20 gallons of water. Plus Energy Star qualified dishwashers and today&#39;s detergents are designed to do the cleaning so you don&#39;t have to.</p>\r\n<p><strong>5. Keep your kitchen sink draining well. </strong>Pour your cooking grease into a can, freeze it, and then toss it into the trash instead of pouring it down the drain and letting the water run.</p>\r\n','<h2>5 Tips to save you time, water &amp; money this holiday season</h2>\r\n<p>With the holidays comes a whirlwind of activity.

Healthy soil also helps plants to be naturally resistant to disease and pests.</p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal\">The first step in healthy soils is knowing what you are working with. You can easily find this out by taking soil core samples from several areas of your yard and have them analyzed. Check with your local garden center or Extension Office for commercial soil testing resources.</span></p>\r\n<p><strong>Aeration:</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal\"> Aerating your soil in the spring or fall (or both, if you can) each year promotes moisture infiltration into the soil, efficient use of fertilizers, and promotes better root growth. Use a rented power aerator or garden fork to aerate your lawn. Then overseed with a rye/fescue mix designed for Pacific Northwest conditions and top dress your lawn with about a quarter inch of fine compost to improve the condition of soil and allow for better water retention.</span></p>\r\n<p><strong>Fertilizing:</strong> <span style=\"font-weight: normal\">Fertilizing can encourage healthy root development and replace essential nutrients lost through leaching and transpiration. If a soil test or plant performance indicates a need, use organic or slow-release fertilizer in late fall or late spring. Organic and slow release fertilizers release nutrients over a longer period of time and are less likely to run off your lawn into waterways after rain. They also support the variety of soil organisms that improve fertility and combat diseases.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n<p><strong>Mowing:</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal\"> The general rule of thumb is to mow often enough that it is only necessary to cut a third of your grass&rsquo;s total height. Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. A taller lawn provides shade to roots and holds soil moisture better than if it&#39;s closely clipped. It is also important to use sharp blades to prevent tearing and injuring your grass.</span></p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal\">Looking for more in-depth information on lawns and lawn maintenance tips?

Here in the Portland metro area, summer water use often doubles or triples due to outdoor watering.</p>\r\n<p>The reason for this is often because people don&rsquo;t know how much water their landscape needs. And, it&rsquo;s one reason why irrigation &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s a single sprinkler attached to a hose or a sophisticated underground system &mdash; is a key component to your water conservation efforts.</p>\r\n<p>Below are some basic&nbsp;watering tips to get you started. For more in-depth information check out the rest of our watering section.</p>\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li><strong>Water When Temperatures Are Cooler and the Air is Calmer</strong>&nbsp;<br />\r\n		Make sure you water before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. when temperatures are cooler and the afternoon winds have calmed so that evaporation is kept to a minimum.&nbsp;<br />\r\n		&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Group Plants With Similar Water Needs</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n		&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Know How Much and Often To Water</strong>&nbsp;<br />\r\n		On average, we recommend watering your lawn about an inch a week &ndash; a bit more during long, hot, dry spells and a bit less during the cooler spring and fall. &nbsp;Trees, shrubs and perennials typically don&rsquo;t need water as frequently, however they may require more volume at each cycle, so it is best to check with your local garden center or landscape professional on your plant&rsquo;s specific watering needs.&nbsp;<br />\r\n		&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong><a name=\"soilabsorbtion\"></a>Apply the Amount of Water Your Soil Can Absorb</strong>&nbsp;<br />\r\n		Watering thoroughly, but infrequently, will help roots go deeper, resulting in more water-efficient, drought-tolerant plants. This is one reason the Consortium recommends watering one or two times per week.&nbsp;<br />\r\n		<br />\r\n		But, the amount you water should be based on your landscape&rsquo;s soil conditions and plant needs. &nbsp;Here in the Pacific Northwest, soils are typically clay or sandy loam which may take longer for the water to penetrate. &nbsp;Run off and puddling are visible cues that water is being applied at a quicker rate than it can be absorbed.&nbsp;<br />\r\n		<br />\r\n		If this occurs, you may want to use a &ldquo;cycle and soak&rdquo; pattern for your watering. To do this, apply water in several shorter sessions each day that you water. This will allow the water to soak gradually into the soil in between the watering sessions and allow for better water absorption and to prevent run-off.<br />\r\n		<br />\r\n		For example, if your watering schedule is 40 minutes per week and you plan to water two days per week, your new &ldquo;cycle &amp; soak&rdquo; schedule might be to water for 10 minutes at 6 a.m. and then again for 10 minutes at 8 a.m. each day that you water.<br />\r\n		&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Set It, But Don&#39;t Forget It</strong>&nbsp;<br />\r\n		The key to efficient irrigation is to adjust watering schedules frequently during the irrigation season. If you set your automatic controller once for the hottest part of the summer and let it run all season, you will waste a lot of water. Most modern controllers allow you to easily adjust your&nbsp;watering schedule&nbsp;based on the weather.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n','<h1>Watering Basics</h1>\r\n<p>The greatest waste of water is watering too much, too often.

Since each sprinkler puts out water at a set rate, knowing your sprinklers can  help you determine when and how much to water your landscape.</p>\r\n<p>You can use the Consortium Watering Gauges to figure this out.  Here’s how:</p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li> Place the Consortium Watering Gauge and 2–5 other containers of similar shape and depth (e.g., tuna cans) at different distances from your sprinkler.</li>\r\n<li> Run the sprinkler for 30 minutes.</li>\r\n<li>Measure the total number of inches in the gauges/cans and then divide the total by the number of cans to get an average depth.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p>\r\n<img src=\"/images/watering_step1_table.gif\" alt=\"6 cans ÷ 6 inches = 1 Inch per ½ hour\" width=\"345\" height=\"25\" /></p>\r\n<h2>Step 2: Decide when and how much to water</h2>\r\n<p>\r\nSince over watering is so common, we recommend creating a  thorough but infrequent watering schedule such as before 10 a.m. or after 6  p.m. on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.\r\n</p>\r\n<p><img src=\"/images/watering_step2_table.gif\" alt=\"table 2\" width=\"345\" height=\"50\" /></p>\r\n<h2>Step 3: Use local weather conditions to help determine watering needs</h2>\r\n<p>\r\nWatering smart means thinking like a plant by using local  weather conditions to help determine how much water your plants and lawn  actually need. Use Consortium’s weekly ET number to determine how much to water  during each time on your schedule. Here’s how:\r\n</p>\r\n<ol type=\"1\">\r\n<li>Divide the weekly ET number by the number of times you will water that week.</li>\r\n<li>This is the amount (in inches) you will water each time during the week.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p class=\"tips\"><strong>For example: </strong>An  ET value of 1 means your lawn should get 1 inch of water that week. If your  sprinkler waters an inch each half hour, you will set your sprinkler system to  water .33 inches each time (or 10 minutes using the example from step 1).</p>\r\n<p class=\"tips\"><br />\r\n      <img src=\"/images/watering_step3_table.gif\" alt=\"table 3\" width=\"345\" height=\"50\" /></p>\r\n<p>Some key things to remember when using ET as a guide to  creating a watering schedule your landscape include:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li> ET varies  for different plant types.</li>\r\n<li> ET changes  depending on the weather.</li>\r\n<li>ET is  affected by the amount of sun, wind and air temperature.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Step 4: Tailor your watering to plant needs</h2>\r\n<p>\r\n  <img src=\"/images/ETcopy.jpg\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"197\" height=\"500\" align=\"right\" />Water needs vary from plant to plant. For example, turf  generally requires more water than plants, shrubs and trees. Setting your  sprinklers to water turf separately from shrubs and perennials will allow you  to tailor your watering schedule for each major section of your landscape.</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<p>Determine which plant types are located in different areas  of your yard and then use these general guidelines to create watering schedules  to fit the needs for the different zones in your yard:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Trees — 50% of ET until established, then set to soak in July and August</li>\r\n<li>Shrubs — 50% of ET</li>\r\n<li>Lawns — 100% of ET (shady areas 60%)</li>\r\n<li>Vegetables — 75% of ET</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>\r\n    <img src=\"/images/watering_step4_table.gif\" alt=\"Table 4\" width=\"345\" height=\"150\" /></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"/outdoors/irrigation/evapotranspiration\">&lt;&lt;previous</a></p>','<h1>Create a Weekly Watering Schedule</h1>\r\n<p>You may have heard the phrase \"water lawns 1 inch a week.\"  While this is a good general rule for most of the summer, weather is constantly changing and so should your watering schedule.</p>\r\n<h2>Step 1: Get to know your sprinkler</h2>\r\n<p>\r\nOver watering is the most common problem in home landscapes.

in the morning</strong> or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler and evaporation is minimized.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Water in several short sessions</strong> rather than one long session to allow for better water absorption and to prevent run-off.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>On average, lawns need 1 inch of water per week</strong>, though you may need to water more in hotter weather.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Use the Consortium&rsquo;s weather-based <a href=\"http://conserveh2o.org/weekly-watering-number\" title=\"Weekly Watering Number\">Weekly Watering Number</a></strong> to find out how much your lawn or garden needs each week.&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Adjust your mower to a higher setting</strong>.&nbsp; A taller lawn provides shade to the roots and helps retain soil moisture, so your lawn requires less water.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>If you hand-water your plants</strong>, be sure to install a &ldquo;shut-off&rdquo; nozzle to avoid water waste.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Sweep your driveway or sidewalk</strong> rather than using a hose.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s good exercise and saves water.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p>Find out more tips for conserving

You can do this in a couple of ways:</p>\r\n<h2><strong>Install a Toilet Tank Displacement Bag</strong></h2>\r\n<p>One way to <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">retrofit an older</a> toilet is to install a toilet tank displacement bag in your toilet tank. Once filled with water, the bag will displace about .5 gallons of water in your toilet tank so that your older toilet will use less water each time it is flushed.

The fill cycle diverter is a simple plastic device that directs more water to the tank and less to the bowl while they refill so that they finish filling at roughly the same time. Once installed, a fill cycle diverter will save about .5 gallons of water with each toilet flush.</p>\r\n<h3>How a Toilet Fill Cycle Diverter Works</h3>\r\n<p>When a toilet is flushed, both the tank and the bowl need to be refilled. For many older toilets, the bowl will fill sooner than the tank. In this case, the water will continue to run into the bowl until the tank water level is high enough to shut off the fill valve. Water that enters the bowl after it is full simply overflows down the drain and it wasted.</p>\r\n<p>The fill cycle diverter driects more water to the tank and less to the bowl while they refill. The goal is to have the tank and the bowl finish filling at the same time, or as close to the same time as possible.</p>\r\n<p>Many <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\">water providers</a> give them out to their customers for free, or you can purchase one at most home improvement stores or online.</p>\r\n<p><strong>See&nbsp;how to retrofit your toilet </strong><a href=\"http://conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">here</a>.</p>\r\n','<h1>Retrofitting Older Toilets</h1>\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/images/video_retrofitting.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left\" />If purchasing a new toilet is not possible, you can <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">retrofit an older toilet</a> (those that use 3.5 <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/toilet-water-use\">gallons of water per flush</a> or more) so that it uses less water each time it flushes.

WaterSense showerheads use no more than 2 GPM and are third party tested to ensure they meet EPA water efficiency and performance criteria (i.e. you will not have to sacrifice a good shower in order to achieve water savings!). There are also showerheads on the market that effectively use less than 2GPM.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h3>What to look for when replacing an old showerhead</h3>\r\n<p>When replacing your old showerhead, whether you select a WaterSense showerhead or not, be sure to look for a one that has a flow rate of less than 2.5 gpm for maximum efficiency. Many water providers give high efficiency showerheads out to their customers for free, or you can purchase one at most home improvement stores for about $10-20.</p>\r\n<h3><strong>How to determine your showerhead&#39;s flow rate:</strong></h3>\r\n<p>Not sure what your shower&#39;s flow rate is? Use this quick test to find out:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Place a bucket-marked in gallon increments under your shower head.</li>\r\n	<li>Turn on the shower at the normal water pressure you use.</li>\r\n	<li>Time how many seconds it takes to fill the bucket to the 1-gallon mark.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>If it takes less than 20 seconds to reach the 1-gallon mark, your shower uses about 3 gpm and you could benefit from a showerhead with a more efficent flow rate.</p>\r\n<h3><strong>How to install your water efficient showerhead:</strong></h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Remove old showerhead from shower arm. If you need to use a wrench to remove it, use a second wrench to hold the shower arm while you loosen the old showerhead. Use pieces of cloth to protect the finish.</li>\r\n	<li>Briefly turn water on to rinse out pipe (turn it off before going to next step).</li>\r\n	<li>Screw on the new showerhead and hand tighten.</li>\r\n	<li>Test the showerhead. If it leaks, tighten by using one wrench on the shower arm and another one on the showerhead. Tighten until snug (DO NOT over tighten!).
