Template: Non-functional Turf Conversion Projects Prioritization Tool
This interactive scoring tool prioritizes non-functional turf conversions based on key local criteria to help municipal and utility staff evaluate potential turf replacement projects. The tool evaluates candidate projects across seven custom-weighted parameters, including expected water savings, irrigation system efficiency, underutilized turf replacement, wildfire risk reduction, project co-location, environmental co-benefits, and strategic local priorities. By automatically generating normalized scores out of 100 and comparative rankings, it streamlines decision-making and helps communities invest in the highest-impact landscape transformations.
Communities can use these tool as is, or customize to their local priorities.
