dc.description.abstract | Water is the basis of life and is the driving force for economic and social development and for poverty eradication. Agricultural, domestic, industrial, and ecological processes within communities all rely on its quality and availability. Urban green spaces are key ingredients in the cities' sustainability and contribute to the quality of life in many ways by providing ecological performance, psychological, physical well-being and recreational services. However existence and establishment of green spaces in the city centers have a close relation with presence of water. The cost of water used in urban is higher than the water used in agricultural areas, because of that the necessity of the conservation of the water and saving of water used in the urban have to be considered. It was estimated that the water used in urban landscape areas is one of the main factor in saving of water. The 50-70% of the water served by the municipality was estimated to be used in urban green spaces. The seven basic principles of water saving in green space applications are listed below; planning and design, soil improvements, efficient water, zoning of plants, mulches, turf alternatives and proper maintenance. In this study, the principles of water saving were determined by the evaluation of the water conservation programmes, xeriscape and irrigation systems in green space applications. | en_US |
