Trace – purhaps Jason is right in looking not to eliminate landscape irrigation but to look into increasing the use of reclaimed water as an irrigation source. Irrigation of reclaimed water onto ornamental landscapes works as a great final filter for the water before it re-enters aquifers or waterbodies. Some people have issue using reclaimed water on agricultutral crops, claiming increased risk of contaminates into the crops, so rather than pump non-potable water into the watershed use it for irrigation.
