| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the water conservation landscaping at Clark County School District (CCSD) in Henderson, Nevada. States that their action plan "compliments the guidelines of the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) Drought Plan, introduced in 2003...and adds specific goals and actions to address CCSD facilities managed by the facilities division." Details the irrigation systems, stating that "centrally controlled, computerized watering systems are installed and used at 226 of the sites. This system uses weather stations to establish evapotranspiration rates (ET)." Describes maintenance practices on the sports field, mentioning that "xeriscape landscaping is used for all non-functional landscape areas on shool sites, and the previous design standards allowing for 25 percent aesthetic grass have been reduced to zero." Concludes that "management strategies are a vital part of the effectiveness of the CCSD Water Conservation Action Plan and the overall efficiency of the district." |
