Where contributions go.
Applied landscape water research
Field measurement of canopy transpiration and irrigation efficiency on Utah properties, and the twelve-month meter-level verification we publish on completed projects.
Free public education
Plain-language guides on irrigation and canopy management, homeowner workshops, and the monthly Utah Water Report, all published free and ungated.
Free water savings forecasts
Our primary direct-service program. Any Utah homeowner, HOA, or property can request a water savings forecast at no cost and no obligation. Contributions are what keep that program free.
