Estimate water use and savings across household, garden, and community modes.
Compare systems, calculate gallons + cost saved, and generate a GTG Water Efficiency Score (0–100).
Educational tool — not engineering or agronomic advice.
Estimate and compare
Select a mode, enter a few simple inputs, and get an instant water + savings estimate (saved locally).
Educational note: Water needs vary by climate, soil, plant type, wind, mulch, irrigation uniformity,
and system maintenance. GTG overlays are directional and designed for planning comparisons.
🌱 Garden (compare irrigation)
🏠 Household (fixtures + lawn)
🌍 Community (project scale)
Garden mode is the GTG core (systems comparison). Household and community are optional overlays.
Enter area in square feet.
Used to annualize garden totals.
Higher demand increases baseline irrigation.
Affects gallons and “water per lb” estimate.
Mulch reduces evaporation (savings).
Adds small efficiency boost.
Use this as your “current” or baseline system.
Compare A vs B to see savings potential.
Used only for an educational cost-savings estimate.
