Water Efficient Use for Sustainability of Water Resources in Urban Areas: Xeriscape
Özet
Water resources all over the world are rapidly depleting due to climate change, global warming, misuse of land, rapid
population growth in cities. Water is one of the most important natural resources that cannot be created for living. In recent years, design approaches have been preferred in use to effectively of water to reduce of water consumption in
landscape arrangements, especially in urban areas. One of these approaches is the Xeriscape.
The " Arid Landscaping " known all over the world as "Xeriscape" is a landscaping scheme that adopts the principle
of protecting the water resources and the environment with minimum use of water. Xeriscape definition was first
introduced by the Denver Water Department in order to provide savings for water use in landscaping in 1981. It was
formed by combining the words "xeros" meaning dry and "landscape" meaning landscape.
As a result of the research, it has been suggested that importance should be attached to the concept of " Xeriscape"
which provides efficient use of water in ecological approaches for urban sustainability in landscape designs made in
urban areas
