1. Water plants before 10am
2. Water plants deeply, infrequently, and directly at the root zone in the early morning to maximize
absorption and reduce evaporation.
3. Aim for 1 inch of water weekly on trees and shrubs.
4. Let lawns go dormant.
5. Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to conserve water.
