AbstractThe current methods used to calculate urban landscape water budgets are limited because they lack site specificity. The objective of this study was to create a landscape water budget web interface based on ground-proofed information, such as plant coefficients (Ks), vegetation components, and reference evapotranspiration (ETo). Using Albuquerque, New Mexico as the base city, mixed landscape and monthly turf grass coefficients for each zip code in Albuquerque were developed. The spatial variability of zip code ETo and ETo weather anomalies was assessed because of their potential effect on water budgets. Evapotranspiration varied among zip codes, months, and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases. To improve the water budget estimate, the interface accounts for spatial and temporal variability of the monthly, historical (monthly and yearly), and the ENSO phases ETo. Because nonturf landscape plant Kss were unavailable for Albuquerque, the authors developed a Region Match Analysis to transfer non...
