A brief description of the program or practice:

SDSU grounds are managed by area by individual staff and xericaping has been installed at the discretion of grounds staff based on the appropriateness of xeriscaping for the location environment and use. In general there is a growing interest in replacing landscaping high water requirements with vegetation or hardscape with lower water requirements. In several instances new xeriscape areas have been developed in response to requests from the Administration or individual departments.
