Re: [californiadisasters] Less water might be plenty for California, experts ...



In my neck of the woods, most new subdivisions going in are using drought-tolerant landscaping systems on the home properties and surrounding areas.   Personally I think it looks bad, but it is what it is right now for this type of crisis.   I hope El Nino actually brings us a good balance of rain soon.    Green grasses help the environment in many ways and shouldn't be written off completely.

How about 'QUIT BUILDING NEW HOUSING if you don't have the water to supply the darn things?' Prohibit HOA requirements for lawns/landscaping which consumes unnecessary water--and encourage the establishment of not only xeriscaping but flower and vegetable gardens which are wisely designed for prudent water use.

Make inventive non-lawn landscaping the in thing, and keeping up with the Joneses will do a lot to help spread it. :)
