Water conservation initiatives seldom quantify the volume of water that is at stake in lawn watering. In many communities, including those in South Florida, outdoor water use, which includes lawn irrigation, is not metered separately from indoor water use and is indistinguishable from indoor water usage. A large number of residents use self supply non-potable wells for lawn irrigation that are not regulated by the South Florida Water Management District. The result is that residential lawn water use is difficult to account for and quantify. This thesis project addressed these difficulties by combining semistructured interviews, daily watering observations and irrigation system audits to ascertain how much public supply water and self supply (well) water was being used for residential lawn irrigation. The study also examined lawn watering practices and how factors such as: precipitation, the minimum plant needs of St. Augstinegrass, and how local watering restrictions influenced watering behavior.

In December 2002, a group of specialists on water resources from the United States and Iran met in Tunis, Tunisia, for an interacademy workshop on water resources management, conservation, and recycling. This was the fourth interacademy workshop on a variety of topics held in 2002, the first year of such workshops. Tunis was selected as the location for the workshop because the Tunisian experience in addressing water conservation issues was of interest to the participants from both the United States and Iran. This report includes the agenda for the workshop, all of the papers that were presented, and the list of site visits.

The purpose of this report is to document the data collection, analysis, and results derived from a hydrogeologic assessment conducted on Crooks Ranch and Golden Ox Ranch in central Hendry County. In this area, significant groundwater quantities for irrigation are withdrawn primarily from the semiconfined Lower Tamiami aquifer (LTA), which appears to be hydraulically connected to the overlying WTA, and, in turn, to the numerous isolated wetland systems in the region. The two ranches are located in the C-139 Basin, where there are approximately 565 LTA agricultural irrigation wells and another 256 proposed.
