According to research at Colorado State University, Denver Water Board and Northern Colorado Water District, about seven percent of the Colorado water supply is used in landscapes. That may not sound like a lot but it's important to be water wise with our urban landscapes; in our arid state we can't afford to waste a drop of water.**
