What will not help with water efficient landscaping?
A: Mulching around plants
B: Planting native plants
C: Creating a sediment basin
D: Xeriscaping

参考答案: C

本题解释:
A:Mulch is simply a protective layer of a material that is spread on top of the soil, often to keep moisture in. Mulches can either be organic -- such as grass clippings, straw, bark chips, and similar materials -- or inorganic -- such as stones, brick chips, and plastic.
B:Native (or indigenous) plants are those that grow naturally in an area, or that have been in an area for many years. Native plants require less water, fertilizer, and pest control. These plants can be trees, shrubs, flowers, or grasses. Adaptive plants are non-native plants that perform well in the local climate. Native and adaptive plants require less water, and are more disease resistant because they are suited to the region\'s usual rainfall, soil, and temperature.
C:A sediment basin is useful strategies for stormwater management, but is not used to reduce water use in landscaping.
D:Xeriscaping refers to landscaping and gardening in ways that reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental water from irrigation.
