D: Create a pond on the property

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:
Water efficient landscaping helps reduce the need from potable water from local and
regional aquifers. Drip irrigation is a highly effective way to deliver water to a plant’s
roots because the water isn’t lost to the wind, evaporation, or runoff.

LEED rewards projects that treat wastewater onsite. The treated wastewater
can be used for irrigation purposes if local code permits it. However just
treating wastewater onsite doesn’t lead to more efficient irrigation.

LEED rewards projects for reducing potable water (drinking water) use for
landscaping. Reducing potable water use preserves aquifers for future
generations.

Creating a pond is a good strategy for stormwater management.
