The document discusses how to create a water-wise landscape that is also beautiful. Some of the techniques presented include segregating water-hungry tropical plants in planters so the main landscape can use drought-tolerant plants. Examples shown include a river rock drainage channel, succulents and grasses used together, and replacing lawn with low-water plants around a pool to make it look like a natural pond. The message is that it is possible to save water while still having an attractive garden through the use of appropriate plant selection and design.
