Learning Outcomes	Learn how each plant’s water needs become qualifiers in our proposed landscape and the data fields in the Plant Database and Plant Objects can house this to then sort and create plant palettes. Discover how Landscape Areas and Record Formats can assist in creating informative Hydrozones (areas of similar water needs), thus making Water Budgets easier. Understand how customizable Worksheets become the go-to tool for calculations, which take the proposed water needs, and the site’s natural water source data, to determine the amount of water still needed, and if that need is an acceptable amount.
