Xeriscaping is the practice of designing a landscape to limit the need for irrigation. These landscapes generally require little water beyond the annual rainfall. This method of landscaping has become particularly popular in the western United States, particularly in drought-prone regions. Many cities have embraced xeriscaping as a means to conserve water for drinking. Some studies suggest that xeriscaping can reduce water consumption anywhere between 50 and 75 percent.
