Water-Friendly Landscape Design: A Prescription for Healthy Watersheds

Abstract

This policy forum, the fifth in a series that examines statewide water policy issues, was designed to explore current practices that incorporate water-friendly landscape design into a variety of settings, including the public realm, university campuses, and residential yards. Over 100 attendees heard the speakers discuss a variety of techniques that can be incorporated into the landscape to encourage nonpoint source pollution reduction in order to increase the health of our watersheds.
