Irrigation Auditing Component

As of March 2010, CLCA’s Water Management Program has added a third component, an irrigation audit, to its previous certification requirements.

The irrigation audit component is defined as a submitted irrigation audit or an irrigation audit done in a classroom setting in conjunction with WaterSense training.

Current certified, expert certified and all other performance participants will be required to complete this additional irrigation audit component as part of their certification requirements and to become eligible to become a WaterSense Partner. If you are already an EPA WaterSense Partner, you are still required to complete the irrigation audit component as part of the CLCA Water Management Certification Program.

Becoming a WaterSense Partner opens the door for new business opportunities. Once the irrigation audit component is completed, CLCA will automatically enroll you in the EPA WaterSense Partnership program.

You are welcome to attend any upcoming Water Management Certification Trainings to complete the irrigation audit component.

The special irrigation audit component training covers several areas including:

  • How does becoming an EPA WaterSense Partner help my business and how can I market my new partnership?
  • Definition of an Irrigation Audit
  • Irrigation Audit Basics
  • Precipitation Rate (PR)
  • Distribution Uniformity (DU)
  • Low Quarter Distribution Uniformity (DUIq)
  • Irrigation System Audit Process
