This document discusses strategies for water-saving landscaping in intermountain regions. It addresses challenges like hot/cold temperatures, drying winds, and drought/deluge conditions. It recommends solutions like windbreaks, xeriscaping with native plants, soil amendment, and drip irrigation to conserve water. Xeriscaping uses planting techniques that require no additional watering beyond natural precipitation. Soil amendment is important because eastern Washington loses over 10 tons of soil per acre annually to runoff without amendment. Native plants are tolerant of the temperature range and drought conditions while preventing erosion and supporting natural ecosystems with little maintenance needs.
