Save water around the yard. Don't over-water lawns and gardens. You can tell if you are using too much water when the water pools on top of the soil.
Most plants can only soak up a small amount of water at a time, the rest is wasted.
Water your plants in the evening or early morning to reduce evaporation and allow the soil to hold more water. Use less water by planting native plants in your yard or non-native plants that are adapted to our tropical soils and drier climate. Water slowly and deeply to help your plants grow deep, healthy roots. This reduces the need to water frequently. You can also use a soaker hose or install a drip irrigation system to directly water each plant.
