Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
