World Water Day 2026 Special
BC Water Use Calculators Workshop
Landscape and Agriculture Applications
March 22, 2026 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM | Live Online
Are you still estimating water demand instead of calculating it properly?
Have you opened one of the BC irrigation calculators and felt unsure where to start?
Do you rely on rough assumptions when designing systems, preparing water budgets, or advising clients?
If yes, this workshop is necessary for you.
In recognition of World Water Day, join Ted van der Gulik for a focused, practical session on how to properly use BC’s core water demand tools.
This is not theory.
This is applied calculation training.
What Will Be Covered
Primary Focus
• Landscape Water Calculator
• Agriculture Water Calculator
These two tools form the foundation for understanding irrigation demand across both landscape and agricultural applications.
Related Tools Referenced
• Landscape Irrigation Scheduling Calculator
• Agriculture Irrigation Scheduling Calculator
• Agriculture Irrigation Water Use Calculator
• Farmwest Evapotranspiration
Participants will see how these tools connect, but the main instructional focus will remain on understanding water demand calculations correctly.
You can review all calculators here:

Why This Matters
Municipalities are tightening regulations.
Water licensing requires accurate demand estimates.
Clients expect data backed decisions.
If you do not understand how to properly use these calculators, you are guessing.
Professionals who understand water demand calculations:
• Design more accurately
• Defend their numbers confidently
• Reduce risk
• Improve water efficiency
• Increase professional credibility
Session Format
10 minutes – Welcome and introductions
30 minutes – Presentation by Ted van der Gulik
15 to 20 minutes – Live Q and A

YES, but you must first pass the CIT-Level 1 exam before you can write the CIT- Level 2 exam.
Can I just challenge a CIT-1 exam without taking the course?
No, the CIT course must be taken and exam then successfully passed to become IIABC CIT-1 Certified.
