Water Efficient Landscaping
"According to the U.S. Geological Survey, of the 26
billion gallons of water consumed daily in the United States,
approximately 7.8 billion gallons, or 30 percent, is devoted to outdoor
uses. The majority of this is used for landscaping. In fact, it is
estimated that the typical suburban lawn consumes 10,000 gallons of
water above and beyond rainwater each year."
The following document from the United States Environmental
Protection Agency outlines "eye-catching
gardens and landscapes that save water, prevent pollution, and protect
the environment and are, in fact, easily achieved by employing
water-efficient landscaping."
