Water basins provide an easy, old technique to conserve moisture near plant roots and cut water bills. The method fits arid landscapes, with guidance from county extension services and University of Arizona research. Basins grow with plants, must keep water away from the root crown, and can be built from simple earth or more permanent materials. Water use can be measured by monitoring hose flow and meter readings.
