| Irrigation for lawns, gardens,
and landscape plants accounts for a large portion of our total water demand in
Lubbock. That is why water demand is often 40% higher in the summer
months than in the winter. Plants do need sufficient water and
nutrients to remain healthy and attractive, but over-watering and
over-fertilizing can waste water and money, and contribute to water
pollution. The following resources offer information about efficient
water use in the home, garden, and landscape. We have also included
information about selecting drought tolerant plants, selecting
and installing irrigation systems, and determining when and how
much to irrigate.
