Xeriscaping can save water by eliminating landscape plantings, replacing plants with rocks, sand and sculpture creating wetlands instead of landscaping planting native or drought-resistant plants with little or no water requirements planting invasive exotic plant species collecting rain water and storing it in cisterns or tanks

Water becomes an expensive and limited resource. The conservation of water through creative landscaping is called xeriscaping.
Xeriscaping can save water by planting native or drought-resistant plants with little or no water requirements. The amount of applied water should be reduced and  the use of natural precipitation maximized.
