Conservation Tips . In areas that won't be walked and played on very much, consider an alternative to traditional turf like a low-growing juniper that will still add a splash of green to your landscape while requiring a fraction of the water that most lawns do. . Put the plants that require the most water at a lower elevation than those that require less water. Precipitation will run downhill to the plants that need it most. . Water when the temperature is cooler, and you will reduce the amount of water that evapo- rates into the air. A I so, it is g en e ra II y bette r to water less frequently for longer periods of times as opposed to often for shorter periods of time. You want to soak the lawn thoroughly so the water travels into the ground and allows the grass roots to grow deeper. But if you see water running off, you shou Id stop wateri ng. . We need to alter our attitude that grass has to be lush and green all the time. We do, after all, I ive on the edge of what was once called 'The Great American Desert.' .
