A brief description of the program or practice:
Nearly all of Arizona State University Polytechnic campus grounds deploy a xeriscape technique with the exception of only a few small plots which we cultivate social gathering lawn spaces. A large majority of the land the campus rests on is still virgin desert while the maintained core of the campus remains true to the Sonoran desert pallet; palo verde, mesquite, saquaro, cresote and prickly pear are just some of the many native plants you'll encounter on campus grounds. Careful placement and hardscaping coupled with their drought tolerant characteristic allows us to limit, and in many cases completely eliminate, the use of irrigated water.
None
