Areas to focus on to improve water efficiency:

  • Irrigation

    Irrigating all plants to the needs of the driest, most water thirsty plants may mean that up to 80 per cent of plants are receiving too much water!

  • Water recycling

    Recycling water reduces consumption of our precious resource and limits the amount of run-off from the site.

  • Run-off management

    Managing run-off has many benefits; one of which is to help recover used water safely for treatment and recycling.
