The Santa Barbara County Landscape Watering Calculator is an easy-to-use tool that helps you estimate the right amount of water to give your landscape or garden.

The calculator has been designed to give you a weekly schedule for the maximum amount of water which your plants may need each month of the year. Because everyone's landscape is different, the calculator has been simplified by using average numbers for weather, plants, and soils in Santa Barbara.
