| abstract: | The KL method provides landscape and irrigation managers with an estimate of the amount of water a given landscape need to maintain acceptable quality. Landscape architects, designers, and planners should also find the KL method useful when estimating water budgets for new projects. k we learn more about water use by landscape plants, microclimate influences, and density effects, we can adjust and refine the KL method. For now, this method serves as a practical starting point from which to develop effective and efficient irrigation schedules. |
