Desalination

StarStarStarStar

A process that removes minerals from saline water, making it suitable for human consumption and irrigation.

StarStarStarStar

Rainwater Harvesting

StarStarStarStar

Collecting and storing rainwater from roofs or other surfaces to use for irrigation and other purposes, reducing demand on conventional water supplies.

StarStarStarStar

Water Users' Associations

StarStarStarStar

Organizations formed by groups of water users who work together to manage and conserve water resources efficiently and sustainably.

StarStarStarStar

Water-Smart Landscaping

StarStarStarStar

Creating landscapes that require minimal water input by choosing indigenous plants and implementing efficient irrigation practices.

StarStarStarStar

Low-Flow Fixtures

StarStarStarStar

Fixtures designed to use less water than conventional models, such as low-flow toilets and showerheads, which help reduce water consumption.

StarStarStarStar

Water Banking

StarStarStarStar

The practice of storing water rights or actual water supplies for future use, either in times of drought or for growing population needs.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Moisture Sensors

StarStarStarStar

Devices that monitor soil moisture levels to optimize irrigation schedules and prevent overwatering, leading to water conservation.

StarStarStarStar

Drip Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

An irrigation method that delivers water directly to the base of the plant through a system of tubes, pipes, valves, and emitters, reducing water waste.

StarStarStarStar

Greywater Recycling

StarStarStarStar

The process of reusing treated domestic wastewater for non-potable purposes, such as landscape irrigation, reducing the use of fresh water.

StarStarStarStar

Educational Programs

StarStarStarStar

Initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness about the importance of water conservation and teaching methods for reducing water use.

StarStarStarStar

Xeriscaping

StarStarStarStar

A landscaping method that reduces the need for supplemental water from irrigation by utilizing drought-resistant plants and efficient landscaping practices.

StarStarStarStar

High-Efficiency Irrigation Systems

StarStarStarStar

Advanced irrigation systems designed to minimize water waste, often including drip systems, soaker hoses, or smart controllers that adjust to weather conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Aquifer Recharge

StarStarStarStar

The process of artificially increasing the amount of water that enters an aquifer, often through methods such as infiltration basins or injection wells.

StarStarStarStar

Artificial Recharge

StarStarStarStar

Enhancing the natural replenishment of groundwater stocks by using man-made structures like ponds, ditches, or wells to direct water underground.

StarStarStarStar

Water-Efficient Appliances

StarStarStarStar

Appliances designed to use less water than traditional models, such as dishwashers and washing machines, contributing to overall water conservation in households.

StarStarStarStar

Rain Gardens

StarStarStarStar

Designed landscapes that collect, absorb, and filter stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other hard surfaces, reducing the need for traditional water drainage systems.

StarStarStarStar

Demand Management

StarStarStarStar

Strategies aimed at reducing water consumption through measures such as public education campaigns, water pricing, and regulations on use.

StarStarStarStar

Stream Restoration

StarStarStarStar

The process of returning a stream or river to its natural state to improve water quality, increase water retention, and stabilize banks.

StarStarStarStar

Leak Detection and Repair

StarStarStarStar

Identifying and fixing leaks in water distribution systems and household plumbing to prevent water loss and waste.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Crops and Mulching

StarStarStarStar

Agricultural techniques that keep the soil covered with plants or mulch to help retain moisture, reduce evaporation, and prevent erosion.
