| Title: | Water-saving strategies for irrigating North Carolina lawns: There was a time when water conservation was discussed only in select locations during periods of extended summer droughts. Now, reducing the amount of water used for landscape irrigation is a recurrent issue for municipalities across the nation. Shifts in global weather patterns, combined with increased strain on municipalities to provide potable water, have led to a sharp increase in state and local ordinances that relate to outside water use |

| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes water problems in North Carolina between 1970 and 2006. Advises that "no single strategy will achieve sufficient benefits in water conservation. The industry must always encourage a scientific approach to water conservation." Provides an overview of several water-conservation tactics, including alternative water sources, irrigation-system design, irrigation-system performance evaluation, irrigation scheduling, landscape design, and water-conservation planning. |
