Center for Water Efficient Landscaping CWEL
Center For Water Efficient Landscaping at Utah State University
The Center for Water Efficient Landscaping is a research and outreach center designed to improve efficient use of water for landscape irrigation. CWEL's mission is to promote water conservation through environmentally, socially, and economically sound landscape management practices. CWEL is unique among water conservation efforts in that its mission is restricted to working within the issue of efficient landscape water use only.
Currently, it is estimated that approximately 50-65% of Utah's culinary water is used for landscape irrigation. Research has demonstrated that the amount of water applied to landscapes could be reduced substantially without affecting landscape quality or consumer lifestyles. Water use could be reduced even further if alternative landscape designs and management programs were practiced.
