Problem $1$: A Project in Los Angeles, California wants to achieve the credit $($by Option $2)$ for outdoor water use reduction of water efficiency. The project used native and adaptive plants along with a drip irrigation system to reduce the water demand. The site consists of $80,000$ square foot. According to the input given by the project team in EPA WaterSense Water Budget tool, the software calculated that the the baseline value of site's peak watering month should be $250,565$ gal$/$month$.$ The project team finds out that the landscape water requirement of the site is $75,000$ gal$/$month$.$ Please calculate the following:

$1.$ How many points can the project earn under this credit by using option $2$ for new construction?

$2.$ Does the project achieve the highest available points in the new construction category? If not, how much further gal$/$month the project needs to be reduced from the baseline to achieve the highest available point?

Problem $2.$ The same project in Los Angeles, California wants to achieve the credit for indoor water use reduction of water efficiency. The project used WaterSense labeled products for all newly installed fixture and fittings along with reduce aggregate indoor water consumption by $45\%$ from the base line. Please answer the following:

$1.$ Is the project qualified to earn the credit?

$2.$ If the project is qualified $($or not qualified$),$ how much point the project has earned on new construction category?
