The key To understanding water conservation
Is to know that the water requirements of plants can be calculated ......easily
To work out how much each type of plant requires. The thing to do?
There’s no need to be brilliant
Quantities are expressed in mm.So that 1mm of water per sq. meter equals 1 liter of water.
1mm per dunam equals 1 cubic meter of water. Or
In Tel Aviv for example the water needs of different plants are as follows.
Lawns=700mm Trees=250mm Shrubs=200mm Water required in Tel AvivPER ANNUM
Palms=400mm Perennials=300mm Annuals=900mm Water required in Tel avivPER ANNUM
If 1mm =1 liter per sq. meter ? Then if the area of lawn=100m2 (sg. meter)
? Then the lawn will need
Lawn Requires 700 mm per annum i.e 700 liters per sq. meter As lawn area =100 sq. meters So Quantity required per annum?
700 X 100 = 70,000 or 70 Cubic meters
Let’s see how these principles can be applied at the earliest stages Of the ...... DESIGN PROCESS
