It is based upon the 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 recreational areas, areas permanently and solely dedicated to edible plants such as orchards and vegetable gardens are subject to the MAWA with an ETAF not to exceed 1.0.
