Through the practice of established sustainablsedesign principles, restrained use of materials and attention to designers can effectively deliver dynamic and functional outdoor spaces on otherwise unusede real estate. One of the biggest challenged of designing sustainable green roofs is the useof water. This is especiallyg true for warmer, southern climatese where hot, windy weather tends to dry shallow soil The quick answer in this instance is to eithed use extremely drought tolerant native or adaptiv species orto irrigate.
