Drought as the New Reality: What This Means for Our Homes and Landscape

Drought in Texas seems all the more present as time goes by. Whether you blame it on climate change or just the ecological time cycle we are in, we will all need to make serious decisions as it relates to water. Cities running out of water, wells and reservoirs going dry; what is a person to do to maintain the lifestyles they are used to? The following presentation focuses on how to adapt your home and landscaping in order to survive a water-restrictive future. You will learn demand side and supply side management techniques (rainwater, AC condensate, graywater, efficient irrigation, and adaptive landscaping) that will help you and your home prosper throughout the new reality of drought.

This presentation was first presented at the 2012 Renewable Energy Roundup & Green Living Fair held in Fredericksburg, Texas.
