      The Need to Conserve: Landscaping with Less Water



      The desire of many Southern Californians is a home with a lush, green, manicured 
lawn, flowering shrubs and groundcover.

      That was possible when water was plentiful and inexpensive.

      But those days may be over. Planned reductions in imported water from the Bay-Delta 
and Colorado River and the region's continuing drought are requiring a change in how we 
view and create our landscapes.
      The good news: Southern California's climate does afford an opportunity to create 
beautiful and functional landscaping that also conserves water.
