Landscaping options like xeriscaping and zeroscaping conserve water and require low maintenance. Xeriscaping uses drought-tolerant plants and rocks in an attractive design, while zeroscaping focuses on rocks with few plants. Both save water, money, and resources. Developing a plan, conditioning soil, limiting lawn size, efficient irrigation, and using mulch are principles for waterwise landscaping. Local resources provide more information on creating conservation-minded landscapes.

Xeriscape By Design - Fort Collins, Colorado
Xeriscaping is a landscaping concept that focuses on water conservation. It involves designing landscapes using plants that are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions to reduce or eliminate the need for irrigation once established. The key principles of xeriscaping include proper planning and design, soil preparation and improvement, efficient irrigation, use of mulch, and appropriate maintenance. By following these principles, homeowners can create attractive, colorful landscapes that use water efficiently and are compatible with Colorado's semi-arid climate.

The El Corazon Compost Facility Partnership.
Recognizing that traditional methods of green waste disposal such as open burning or landfilling are both inefficient and environmentally unsound, the City of Oceanside partnered with Agri Service, Inc. in 1995 to develop an innovative public-private recycling program. This novel program set out to put incoming organic material to good use at fees below those of landfills. The result? Oceanside’s El Corazon Compost Facility, a landmark green waste compost facility authorized by the CalRecycle, a division of the California Department of Natural Resources.
At the El Corazon Compost Facility, we are dedicated to serving the environment from regional to individual levels by reducing landfill waste, creating beneficial soil amendments, and sharing the most up-to-date industry standards with our customers and the community.
Since its inception, the compost facility has processed over 1 million tons of green waste into high quality soil amendments, mulch and potting mixes. The facility’s success at matching incoming flow with outgoing sales of mulch and soil amendment products is renowned and ample evidence of how public-private partnerships can succeed at scale. Educational and community outreach programs as well as active industry involvement and job creation are further high points of the overall project.
4 Mulches And Practical Turf
Mulching provides several benefits including reducing evaporation by 25-50%, stabilizing soil moisture, preventing compaction, controlling weeds and moderating soil temperatures. When using wood/bark chip mulch, a 3-4 inch depth is standard for best weed control and eliminating compaction. Mulching around trees helps protect them from lawn mower damage but mulch should be kept 6 inches away from tree trunks. Grass clippings also make a good mulch for vegetable and flower beds when applied in thin layers.
Creating Practical Turf Areas C Su
The document discusses selecting turf grasses and care based on water needs and site usage. Higher quality bluegrass and tall fescue require more water but provide aesthetic benefits, while buffalograss requires less water but is dormant in fall and spring. The amount of water used typically exceeds what the grasses need, and expectations can be adjusted to reduce watering. Different grasses have varying annual water requirements ranging from 14 to 34 inches depending on the type and quality expected.
3 Wwg Audit[1]
The document provides guidance on performing an irrigation audit to evaluate the efficiency of an irrigation system and identify opportunities for water savings. It outlines 8 steps: 1) water the day before the audit; 2) visually inspect landscaping; 3) record controller settings; 4) identify irrigation zones; 5) evaluate zone performance and precipitation rates; 6) calculate optimized run times for each zone based on precipitation rates; 7) consider soak vs cycle watering and timing; and 8) implement optimized settings and re-evaluate for water savings of 20-70%.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four primary ligaments in the knee that provides stability by preventing excessive motion. ACL tears are most common in sports that involve pivoting, cutting, or landing from a jump, with over 200,000 injuries annually in the US, half of which require reconstructive surgery. Symptoms include the knee giving out accompanied by a pop, with swelling and reduced range of motion. Diagnosis involves physical examination tests like the Lachman test and MRI imaging. Treatment options include physical therapy, bracing, or surgery depending on the severity of tear and the patient's activity level. Recovery from surgery may take 4-24 months depending on the sport and rehabilitation progresses from strengthening to ag

Storm water harvestin_Anamrita khan_2013
This document discusses stormwater harvesting, which involves collecting stormwater from urban areas and treating it so it can be reused. The key points are:
- Stormwater is collected from drains or creeks and treated to make it safe for non-drinking uses like watering parks. This reduces drinking water demand and pollution entering waterways.
- A stormwater harvesting scheme includes an extraction point, transport pipes, a storage tank, treatment system, distribution pipes, and management of byproducts. Several case studies and types of schemes are presented.
- Benefits include alternative water source, sustainable water management, and reducing flooding and pollution. Solutions discussed include modular tanks, filtration, pond development, ecological channels
Drip and sprinkler
This document discusses drip and sprinkler irrigation methods. It defines drip irrigation as a system that slowly delivers water directly to the soil through a network of pipes and emitters. The advantages of drip irrigation include maximum water use efficiency, reduced weeds and erosion, and lower costs. Disadvantages include potential clogging issues and higher initial costs compared to other methods. Sprinkler irrigation is described as applying water through pressurized pipes and sprinklers to break water into drops simulating rainfall. Advantages include suitability for various landscapes and adding fertilizers through the system, while limitations include water loss to evaporation and uneven distribution in windy conditions.

Editor's Notes
- With water becoming a limited resource, conservation has become a third purpose of landscaping.
- Xeriscaping is created by the combination of the Greek word Xeros (dry) with landscaping. Term coined by the Front Range Xeriscape Task Force of the Denver Water Department in 1981.
