Water-efficient landscaping integrates strategies that reduce water usage while promoting plant health. Key practices include using drought-tolerant plants, implementing drip irrigation systems, and applying mulch to retain soil moisture. Xeriscaping, which emphasizes native or climate-adapted plants, minimizes the need for supplemental watering. Rainwater harvesting systems can further enhance efficiency by storing runoff for irrigation. This approach benefits agriculture by reducing water bills, conserving resources, and maintaining soil quality. In regions facing water scarcity, water-efficient landscaping is an essential step toward sustainable farming and environmental conservation.
