Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor

What should be included in an irrigation audit report?

1. System specifications

2. System recommendations

3. Client feedback

4. Employee evaluations

The correct answer is: System recommendations

An irrigation audit report is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of an irrigation system's performance and areas for improvement. Including system recommendations is essential because it offers actionable insights to the client on how to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their irrigation practices. This could involve suggestions related to adjustments in scheduling, updates to equipment, or other measures that improve water conservation and plant health. In contrast, while system specifications can provide useful context about the existing setup, they do not directly address how the system can be improved or optimized. Client feedback, while valuable for understanding user satisfaction, may not be integral to the technical evaluation of the irrigation system itself. Employee evaluations are outside the scope of an irrigation audit report, as they pertain to personnel assessments rather than irrigation system performance. Therefore, focusing on providing specific, tailored recommendations ensures that the audit report serves its primary purpose of guiding the client toward better irrigation practices.
