Impervious surfaces prevent rainwater from replenishing ground water tables and increased run-off causes soil erosion and drains pollutants directly into waterways. Implementing sustainable landscaping practices encourages natural water filtration and translates to cost savings. This presentation reviews how water is used in buildings and provides alternatives that cut water use, outlines ways to collect and use rainwater, and suggests landscape choices that diminish energy use. |
