Inquiry

Can grass ever be classified as "groundcover" within the outdoor water use calculation? If so, under what conditions? What species factor (Ks) can be used? If the species is a turf, is it ever appropriate to deviate from the Ks values given in the table? If so, what would be the criteria for doing so?
