Ways to Save Water

Harvest Rain

Monsoon rains should be a great benefit to landscape plants. But if the rainwater simply runs off of your property, you're not getting the full benefit of all that moisture!

Gray Water

Gray water is water from your bathroom sinks, showers, tubs and laundry that may be used to irrigate your outdoor landscapes.

Irrigation

There are a number of water-efficient irrigation systems for your garden and landscapes.
