| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a summary of research conducted by Texas A & M University on alternative irrigation water sources. Explains that water shortages and quality issues, sustained by increasing population growth, creates a potentially unhealthy "competition between urban and agricultural activities" for water resources. Details how green industry initiatives such as nurseries and greenhouses are under pressure to conserve water and minimize fertilizer use. Claims that "water conservation can be achieved by irrigating greenhouse and nursery crops, and landscape plantings with alternative water sources", and that "low maintenance plant species that are drought and salt tolerant would be desirable for green industry." Identifies alternative water sources as reclaimed municipal water, saline groundwater, and agricultural drainage water. |
