Website Expands with Outdoor Water–Use Guide

How do I program my irrigation timer? Am I watering my plants too much? What flowers and shrubs should I plant? What IS Xeriscape? Almost 70% of water use comes from outside the home. So where can you go to get the answers to these questions and be on your way to saving gallons of water? The new Outdoor Water–Use Guide answers all these questions and more.

Marketing Tip #67 – Put a Kick in Your Campaign

With Water – Use It Wisely, you know you have a proven program. Sometimes, though, it may be a challenge to maintain the momentum. This spring the Arizona Water – Use It Wisely partnership put a kick in their program by becoming one voice in the state. Rather than each partner promoting Water – Use It Wisely independently, they elected to focus on one campaign tip each month for the next six months – one voice, one message, and enough synergy among the partners to capture community and media attention. The results are already reflected in the media coverage. Congratulations, Arizona coalition. For more information on the monthly tips, visit wateruseitwisely.com.


The new Outdoor Water–Use Guide features monthly topics on conserving water outside the home, including this one from April.
