Presentation Summary: 
Designing landscapes with sustainability in mind is no longer a matter of preference, but one of 
meeting jurisdictional requirements. Site designers are increasingly leaning on design software 
and online resources to make their current design workflows easier, and also to help meet the 
new obligations in water-efficient site design.
Join Eric Gilbey, PLA, ASLA, and Vectorworks Product Marketing Manager to learn about the 
water needs of proposed plants, designing hydrozones for irrigation, calculating water budgets, 
and design applications that can help you to plan for beautiful landscapes that maximize water 
efficiency.
Learning Objectives:
• Learn how to quickly define hydrozones that report water needs and areas.
• Recognize how documentation time is saved with pre-built MWELO and EPA worksheets 
that tabulate a project’s Landscape Water Requirement (LWR) / Estimated Total Water 
Use (ETWU) and compare to its Landscape Water Allowance (LWA) / Maximum Applied 
Water Allowance (MAWA).
• Understand design strategies used to incorporate non-potable water collection 
elements.
• Recognize how water needs data can be appended to reusable plant symbols,which can 
quickly fulfill your LEED/SITES/MWELO compliant proposed landscape plan
