Center for Water Efficient Landscaping

 

 

Welcome to the website for the Center for Water-Efficient Landscaping ( CWEL ). We are located at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. Our goal is to provide information and resources to the public, the green industry and water purveyors regarding water conservation in the landscape.

Mission Statement

    To promote water conservation and quality through research in amenity landscaping irrigation and sustainability and through outreach education of the green industry and water purveyors.

Rationale

    CWEL was created to conduct research on effective irrigation techniques, landscape water demand analysis, low-water use landscaping, and plant water needs. CWEL will disseminate information to water purveyors, the green industry, and local USU extension offices to support public education in water-efficient landscaping.
