Retention ponds can be designed to be aesthetically pleasing, while also conserving water use and performing their engineered storm-water function.
The transition between the existing traditional landscape irrigated by sprays and rotors to drip irrigation begins on the mile-long pedestrian esplanade in the Town of Tioga. One additional benefit to drip irrigation is less damage to established trees and their roots.
Limiting or eliminating the high-volume irrigated turf footprint on the project, along with selecting the right plant for the right place, creates the opportunity for water conservation.
