Help Protect Idaho's Most Valuable Resource!

Self-watering Planting Pots

When you are looking for ways to save water in your yard, look for things like self-watering pots for your plants, such as the pots located in Downtown Idaho Falls and along the River Walk on Memorial Drive. These types of containers reduce water use, don’t allow fertilizer to escape into the environment, and produce a more even water consumption that makes healthier, more beautiful plants.

Water Conservation Around the House

Water is Idaho’s most valuable natural resource.  You can make a big impact on water conservation by doing a lot of little things. Things like turning the water off while you brush your teeth, fixing small leaks in your faucets, or changing out old and inefficient fixtures.  Looking for little things around the house can have big impact on the environment.

Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping is a great way to save water.  Plants that are native to east Idaho are specifically adapted to our climate, and are able to use less water and less fertilizer.  When looking at landscaping, look for ways to incorporate these types of plants into your yard.  They look great, take less maintenance, are better for the environment and save you money.
