We often hear about "water restrictions," but this chart shows the why behind them. With aggressive growth in the Black Hills, our "fuel tank" is being drained faster than it can recharge. Notice the yellow area? That represents the water shortages we face if we don't change how we consume. It’s time to move beyond vague restrictions and toward intentional, water-smart landscape design. https://www.waterwhysirrigation.com/why/design-considerations-synthetic-turf-2026-2-19 monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dea8d3346ba885caa569990/8d0b11af-3b86-4d4a-9098-1040806a7090/artificial_grass.jpeg Why? - Design Considerations: Synthetic Turf - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.waterwhysirrigation.com/why/featured-plant-red-twig-dogwood-2026-2-12 monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dea8d3346ba885caa569990/0ec5b333-48e8-4399-8fb2-0f0f96ce8b68/redtwig_dogwood_black_hills.jpg Why? - Pasque Time: A Monthly Portrait of Black Hills Flora - Make it stand out Cornus sericea, red-osier (aka red-twig) dogwood.
