The Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) is a non-profit committed to water conservation. They believe that by improving the plant materials available they can reduce the water needs of the managed environment while preserving the vital ecological services provided by green spaces.
Their science based approach to conservation relies on the 3rd party peer review of objective data to qualify only those turfgrasses that demonstrate a statistically significant water saving potential over conventional varieties of the same species. By testing with research collaborators in locations across North America, the TWCA eliminates confounding factors such as soil type, heat, and pest management from the results.
Their 140 members world wide represent the green collar industry; government agencies, and academia. The TWCA continues to grow and emphasize the importance of a balanced, scientifically based approach to conservation and the managed environment.
