Why is water management so important?
Water management is a key part of gardening sustainably, and is becoming increasingly important as gardeners face increasing pressures from a changing climate.
As well as hotter temperatures, climate change brings the challenge of gardening with a more uneven distribution of water. We expect winters to become warmer and wetter, and summers to become hotter and drier. This means extreme weather events such as droughts and floods are likely to become more frequent.
With this in mind, it's increasingly important to know how to manage water in your garden, from how to save water and water more efficiently, to storing excess winter water to help see you through summer droughts, to designing and planting a garden with both water use and water-related impacts in mind. We are here to help with everything you need to know about managing water in your garden.
