Each member of the WSWSC has a vested interest in ensuring we have a sustainable source of high-quality water for the foreseeable future.  We actively encourage water conservation to protect our aquifer.  Please consider rainwater collection and use of native and drought-resistant plants and grasses.  Grass types that are suited to Austin, Dallas, and Houston will not survive here without excessive amounts of water. An excellent guide available at most local nurseries is Native and Adapted Landscape Plants an Earthwise Guide for Central Texas.  You can also visit growgreen.org for more information. In addition, we have many members in WWS that are Master Gardeners and Naturalists and will be happy to help with suggestions on suitable plantings.
