Water Mapping

The mission of Friends of Balboa Park is to preserve Balboa Park’s legacy for future generations through park-wide projects.

ChallengeInadequate Maps of Water Infrastructure

• Great deal of old water infrastructure in Park• Some mapped incorrectly or not at all• Incomplete knowledge of water meters, locations and areas served• Takes more time to shut off leaks, wasting water and labor• Damages the landscape with unnecessary digging

Irrigation System Visibility• Improved irrigation technology can reduce water use• Improvements to the irrigation system are diffi cult without accurate maps or good system of measurement

Lack of Measurement System• Manual water audits are required• Labor intensive to measure water use in the Park without adequate technology• Lack of current or historical data
