The use of organic mulches to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health, thus reducing the need for watering and chemical inputs.

Using plant species that require less water and are adapted to arid environments. This reduces the need for irrigation and conserves water.

Porous materials for constructing walkways and driveways that allow water to filter through and recharge the groundwater, reducing stormwater runoff.

Timing irrigation events for specific times of the day or stages of plant growth to minimize evaporation and maximize water use efficiency.

Irrigation systems that adjust watering based on weather conditions, soil moisture, and plant water requirements, which conserves water and reduces waste.

The process of allocating a certain amount of water for landscape purposes based on the needs of the plants and local precipitation, promoting responsible water use.

The collection and storage of rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. It reduces the demand on the municipal water supply and decreases stormwater runoff.

A landscaping approach that utilizes drought-resistant plants and reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water from irrigation.

Buildings with vegetation-covered roofs that absorb rainwater, provide insulation, and help to reduce the urban heat island effect.

The addition of materials to soil to improve its water retention and fertility, such as compost or mulch, which leads to healthier plants and reduced irrigation needs.

The craft of arranging aquatic plants, rocks, and substrates in an aesthetically pleasing manner within an aquarium in a way that mimics a natural ecosystem while conserving water.

Utilizing plants that are native to the local area, which are adapted to local climate and soil conditions, requiring less water and maintenance.

The reuse of wastewater from domestic activities (e.g., laundry, bathing) for landscape irrigation, reducing the usage of fresh water and strain on sewage systems.

Shallow depressions in the landscape designed to capture and filter stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces, replenishing groundwater and reducing pollution.
