Mexico is not as efficient as Israel in the utilization of technology. Drip technology is being heavily used to expand sterile urban environments. Ecology be damned. The technology expanding fast. The Salt River Pimas are now using it in their nurseries. Adapting the technology with native desert species has real potential to provide pseudo riparian botanical habitats adapted to southwest dry ecosystem components. Until then we'll suffer the blessings of ornamentals in the palms. They only require little old ladies and sunflower seeds. I see no reason we can have both.Found it interesting in an article about the lack of water that there's a picture and a couple paragraphs of the nursery and the guy is spraying water on the plants. You would think they would do the drip irrigation like Israel and I'm sure a lot of areas/farms/etc do.
