watermyyard-2016It is possible to use less water and have a healthy, attractive landscape. NTMWD sponsors the Water My Yard program to inform North Texas residents how much to water their yards. Nearly 50 percent of landscape water is wasted due to overwatering, inefficient watering, or broken and poorly maintained sprinkler systems. A healthy yard needs less water than you think.

 

water4otter-2016In our Water4Otter youth education program, Otis the Otter and his friends encourage students to become Water Spotters to stop wasteful watering practices and protect his home in Lavon Lake. Launched in 2014 to 30 schools, the program connects the water we drink to the water needed to support wildlife and the environment.
