How to Design a Water-Wise Landscape
CWEL Webinar offering CEUs
Event Details
Amid an overwhelming number of resources, guidebooks, fact sheets, and manuals detailing xeriscape and water wise practices, a robust landscape design process provides an underlying framework that operationalizes these resources for novices and professionals alike. This presentation will introduce participants to the four steps used in Utah State University Extension’s Design 4 Every Drop, water wise landscape design curriculum and explain how engaging in the process of landscape design can elevate both the aesthetics and the functionality of water wise landscapes.
Our Presenter Jake Powell is an Extension Specialist in Utah State University’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning. Jake’ research and extension efforts focus on analyzing how the design of communities, infrastructure, and sites affect water quality, quantity, and conservation at both the site and watershed scale, gateway community design and planning challenges, and recreation amenity development and stewardship.
