Being WaterWise…
benefits your landscape, environment, and community
Being water-wise is a win-win proposition.  Benefits for you:
Plants and turf are healthier if you water them in accordance with their needs. Turfgrass and ornamentals develop deeper and stronger root systems with proper watering. Native or adapted plants usually require less maintenance. Proper irrigation means less run-off of fertilizer. If it flows down the street, it’s not helping your plants. Less water for irrigation may mean a lower water bill.
For the Environment…		For the Community…
Less run-off means healthier rivers and streams.  Steady or increased river flows mean a healthier river and bay aquatic community.		Overall decreased water use and a drop in peak water use mean forestalling or avoiding building new drinking water and wastewater treatment plants.
The Texas WaterWise Council, composed of representatives of landscaping-related industries and water management agencies, has adopted as its mission "to promote sound water conservation practices in Texas through a public-private partnership that fosters awareness of the value of sound water management."
