Is Your Yard Water Efficient - Holliston, MassachusettsFarica46m
The document discusses techniques for designing and maintaining water efficient landscapes to promote water conservation and quality. It recommends reducing lawn area, planting native plants adapted to local conditions, enriching soil, watering less frequently and deeply, and avoiding over-fertilization which can pollute water resources. Adopting these practices can help the town meet water demands during drought by creating drought-resilient landscapes while saving residents money over time.
This document discusses the importance of water in landscaping. Water is one of the most important aesthetic elements that can drastically improve the beauty of a landscape. It is connected to life and provides scenic value through its movement, sounds, and reflections. When designing a landscape, water availability, use, and needs should be considered to maximize water use while minimizing waste through elements like irrigation, drainage, swimming, boating, fountains, and ponds. Proper water design is crucial for sustainable ecosystems and attractive landscapes.
Waterwise Gardening: A Guide for British Columbia's Lower Mainland - Metro Va...Fiorella58v
Water conservation is important in the Lower Mainland due to limited water storage and population growth increasing demand. The summer months see lawn sprinkling restrictions to ensure sufficient water. Waterwise gardening uses drought-resistant plants well-suited to the local wet-winter/dry-summer climate that need less watering once established. Careful planning of plant groupings according to water needs and site conditions helps create sustainable gardens.
The document provides a plant list and guidelines for creating water-wise landscapes in Salt Lake City. It acknowledges that historically landscapes have used water-intensive plants but that a transition is needed to more sustainable designs. The guidelines recommend performing a site analysis, improving soils, using efficient irrigation, limiting turf areas, applying mulch, and choosing low water plants suited to the site. An introduction provides context on water conservation needs. Sections then cover landscape program elements, soil amendments, irrigation methods, and appropriate maintenance practices. The plant list aims to introduce water-wise options for beautifying yards while reducing seasonal water demand.
Sustainable Landscaping and Companion Planting - MassachusettsFayina19z

Xeriscape and the Sustainable Landscape - Texas Solar Energy SocietyEric851q
Xeriscape is a concept of water conservation that can be applied to any landscape style. It involves planning and designing landscapes to reduce water use through efficient irrigation systems, soil preparation, appropriate plant selection, and other principles. Some key aspects of xeriscaping include dividing landscapes into zones based on water needs, using mulch and drought-tolerant plants native to the area, and prioritizing conservation to sustain water supplies for a growing population. Proper maintenance practices are also important to ensure the sustainable landscape continues to reduce water usage over time.
Green infrastructure refers to networks of natural and artificial green spaces like forests, wetlands, greenways, and green roofs that provide environmental, economic and social benefits. It supports stormwater management, climate adaptation, air and water quality improvement, habitat creation, and recreation. Green infrastructure development is ongoing at all scales in ASEAN countries through initiatives like LEED certification and the integration of green spaces into regional planning, transportation networks, and communities. Examples of green infrastructure projects include green streets, constructed wetlands, urban forests, and stormwater management systems that treat runoff naturally.
Redevelopment is often considered inherently “sustainable” or “green” in that it involves reusing an already developed site, rather than developing elsewhere on a Greenfield location. But are there ways to make redevelopment even more sustainable? This session will explore how communities can pursue more innovative approaches to redevelopment, ranging from holistic regenerative design to the more prescribed LEED-ND to local brownfield reclamation efforts.
