11. 12. 1~o 15. Preserve and protect existin9 trees and shrubs. Estab- lished plants are often adapted to low water conditions and their use saves water needed to establish replacement vegetation. Install efficient irrigation systems which minimize runoff and evaporation and maximize the water which will reach the plant roots. Drip irrigation, soil moisture sensors and automatic irrigation systems are a few meth- ods of increasing irrigation efficiency. Use pervious paving material whenever feasible to reduce surface water runoff and aid in ground water recharge. Grading of slopes should minimize surface water runoff. Investigate the feasibility of utilizing reclaimed waste water, stored rainwater, or household grey water for irrigation. 16.
