Abstract

Conservation of water in landscape practices Abstract Water is a scarce resource and it's quite relevant in India. However, a well designed, water-efficient landscape style should be thought of no matter the location. A water-conscious, sustainable landscape is definitely accomplishable through straight forward measures. Regenerative landscape design is the integration of ecological, social, cultural, and economic factors in coming up with better planning that helps to shield environs, contribute to stormwater management, conserve water, etc. Sustainability always comes in with the conservation of resources. Sustainability and conservation landscaping both work with nature to increase water quality, lower water consumption, utilize native plants. The options for selecting native and drought-tolerant plants far exceed cacti and succulents. Sustainability emphasizes addressing social and economic factors in addition to environmental factors whereas Conservation addresses the part of the environmental benefits. The paper talks about issues, measures, and agendas to create a landscape that is for the future incorporating the necessity and self-sustaining ability of a landform. With water scarcity, we need to ask ourselves if we need a vast lawn considering the benefits of keeping water consumption low. Using resources wisely and designing your landscape with strategically applied water is a need of the hour. ''The environment and the economy are the two sides of the same coin. If we cannot sustain the environment we cannot sustain our self''. Water is a scarce resource and it's quite relevant in India.
