Sustained only by rainwater, and handwatered in summer, this Southern California inland valley garden requires 9500 gallons of water a year, based on its location in a Southern California inland valley and the type of plants used, with water requirements rated as low and very low.

Lawns in the neighborhood, same square footage, require 43,000 gallons of water a year to stay alive.

The maximum water allowance for this square footage given by the State of California for this climate is 23,800 gallons a year. http://www.water.ca.gov/wateruseefficiency/landscapeordinance/
