The Benefits of a Water Management Plan

If you already have a specific project in mind, a Hydrozone Water Management Plan will ensure that:

the idea will work in your situation
it will meet the expectations of all stakeholders (users, public, water retailers, government, board & committee members)
the solution is customised and scaled so it fits your site
this project fits with future opportunities and challenges
alternative solutions to the problem are considered
other bigger problems and opportunies are addressed
you have an estimate of the amount of water that will be saved
you have an estimate of the likely improvement to your site or sites.
the likely cost of the project is known
decisions are based on solid, independent evidence
a solid argument can be made to your funding sources (both internal and external)
you increase the chance of gaining exemptions from water restrictions
you gain from the experience of other early adopters

identify which problems are the most important to deal with
measure current performance against industry benchmarks
investigate the best solutions for your site
include innovative solutions that challenge the status quo
explore engineering, technological, horticultural, design and management based solutions
highlight low cost operational solutions that product sellers aren't interested in
deal with less obvious water issues like downstream drainage responsibilities
identify highest priority projects with the biggest return and lowest cost
provide a framework for assessment of future water conservation ideas
facilitate monitoring of water management performance as projects are implemented

consider horticultural and landscape issues such as hydrozoning, fertilising, mowing and mulching
help get better results from the same amount of water
investigate new sources of water
