Maximum Applied Water Allowance definition

Maximum Applied Water Allowance. (MAWA) means the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscaped area as specified in Section 492.4. It is based upon the area's reference evapotranspiration, the ET Adjustment Factor, and the size of the landscape area. The Estimated Total Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance. Special Landscape Areas, including recreation areas, areas permanently and solely dedicated to edible plants such as orchards and vegetable gardens, and areas irrigated with recycled water are subject to the MAWA with an ETAF not to exceed 1.0. MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(ETAF x LA) + ((1-ETAF) x SLA)]
Maximum Applied Water Allowance or “MAWA” means the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscape area, as specified in Section 2.2 of these Guidelines. It is based upon the area’s reference evapotranspiration, the ETAF, and the size of the landscape area. The Estimated Applied Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance.

Examples of Maximum Applied Water Allowance in a sentence

  • The Estimated Applied Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance.

  • The Estimated Total Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance.

  • The Maximum Applied Water Allowance is calculated based on the maximum ETAF allowed (0.55 for residential areas and 0.45 for non-residential areas) and expressed as annual gallons required.

  • The irrigation system must be designed and installed to meet, at a minimum, the irrigation efficiency criteria as described in Section 492.4 regarding the Maximum Applied Water Allowance.

  • Reference evapotranspiration is used as the basis in determining the Maximum Applied Water Allowance so that regional differences in climate can be accommodated.
