Texas Water usage
Which part of Texas receives the most rain? - answer East Texas
Where is most of Texas water moving to? – answer DFW area
Alter water regime results in - answerless diversity and abundance of species
How do we meet water demands? - answer Groundwater, surface water, desalinization,
wind, reuse water (irrigation), storm water drainage, conservation
Which Texas city uses more water per capita? - answer Dallas
Which Texas city uses the least water per capita? - answer San Antonio
How much water is lost due to leaky pipes? - answer10 to 50 %
City water is used mostly for what? - answer Watering lawns and gardens (30 to 50%)
Xeriscaping - answer Conserve environment, protect native species, mimic natural
evapotranspiration, means "dry-landscape", water conservation (av 30%)
Xeriscaping Principles - answer1 Planning and design
2 Soil analysis and preparation
3 Practical turf areas
4 Appropriate plant selection
5 Efficient irrigation
6 Use of mulches
7 Appropriate maintenance
When is water in most demand? - answerWinter to Summer
How much of this savings is due to better landscape design and more efficient irrigation
versus plant material selection? - answerEfficient irrigation alone may reduce water
usage by 30 - 50% on turfgrass landscapes
How can cities conserve water? - answerBetter infrastructure and more efficient
irrigation
