The irrigation system and turf reduction study conducted for the City of Peoria, Arizona, was the recipient of an ASIC Excellence in Irrigation Merit Award for Planning and Analysis.
Led by Doug Macdonald, Aqua Engineering staff performed an extensive site analysis for 18 neighborhood parks and developed site-specific reports and improvement recommendations for the City of Peoria's parks and recreation staff. Turfgrass reduction strategies were developed to help parks staff identify areas within each park that might be replaced with a landscape requiring less water without affecting the utility or appearance of the park for users.
