Conserving Freshwater Ecosystems

Question

In which city would xeriscaping be more useful? Alice Springs, Australia, and Seattle, Washington. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Xeriscaping uses drought-resistant plants to create landscapes which require little or no water or rain. Alice Springs, Australia would benefit more from xeriscaping as it is a dry desert region. Seattle, Washington has ample rain so xeriscaping would not be as beneficial.
