Water Efficient Demonstration Garden
In this garden, several techniques and materials are demonstrated to show you how to conserve one of our most important natural resources, water.
Utilizing efficient irrigation systems reduce or even eliminate evaporation, overwatering, and runoff. Preventing runoff - surface water that flows from yards and streets picking up fertilizers, pesticides and other pollutants - keeps polluted water from traveling to the ocean. The West Basin Water Efficient Demonstration Garden utilizes the following techniques to maintain water efficiencies:
-
Drip irrigation
-
Weather-based irrigation devices
-
Rain and Runoff Capture Systems
-
Permeable Surfaces
-
Drought-tolerant, native plant landscaping
-
Mulch
