Qualified Water-Efficient Landscaper (QWEL) Program
The Qualified Water-Efficient Landscaper training presents an affordable proactive local approach to reducing landscape water demand. Completion of the QWEL program provides knowledge in water-efficient and sustainable landscape practices including water management and preservation of other valuable resources.
A state mandate adopted in 2009 compels urban water supplies to achieve a 20 percent per capita reduction by 2020. One way to do this is by replacing irrigated grass with water-wise landscaping. But there is a lack of knowledge about planning, building and maintaining these landscapes, along with the misconception that saving water on landscapes limits homeowners to cactus.
