系统解析: Knowledge Domain: Water Efficiency (WE)

In some regions of the U.S., turf lawns can require as much as five feet of water each year. Any landscaping plan (trees, shrubs, groundcover, grasses) should use low-water demand vegetation, such as native, adapted or drought tolerant species that either reduces or eliminates the need for irrigation, fertilizers, and pest control. Never use invasive plants, as they are very aggressive and spread rapidly. Xeriscaping is a landscaping method that uses drought adaptable and low-water plants as well as soil amendments, such as compost, mulch, and rocks to reduce evaporation and make irrigation unnecessary.

Outdoor water use > use of native and adaptive species
