water irrigation so long as effort is taken to occasionally irrigate with another water source to flush accumulated salts and nutrients. In general, native plants which are drought tolerant do best with gray water irrigation. The New Mexico Office of the State Engineer recommends trees such as the cottonwood, olive, locust, juniper and pinon and shrubs such as Chamisa, four winged saltbush and privet as appropriate planting materials for use with gray water irrigation. Also because gray water is usually alkaline it is important to avoid using gray water on plants that require an acidic environment. More Information. For more information on how to design a simple gray water system in your home please reference the easy to follow guide written by the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer Conservation Bureau found at http://www.ose.state.nm.us/water-info/ conservation/pdf-manuals/NewMexGWGuide. pdf If you have any additional questions or would like to request a free hard copy of the above manual along please contact Christine Y.
