Why be Waterwise?

Introduction

Why be Waterwise

Most domestic water is used on the garden, so being waterwise in the garden offers the greatest scope for saving water. It is no longer a case of briefly changing our ways to react to a short-term problem.

Being waterwise is now, and ever should be, a regular part of our life.

Unfortunately, some still believe that a waterwise garden will have the look and feel of a desert. Not so! Simply by adopting waterwise techniques an existing conventional garden can be maintained on far less water than previously thought possible, with little or no visible difference. Creating a new garden from scratch incorporating waterwise design, plants, products and techniques offers even greater saving potential.
