About this section

Every figure in Las Vegas Xeriscape Research traces to an original government or agency publication. Derived values (unit conversions, sums, percentage shares and cross-source comparisons) are labeled as derived and distinguished from reported figures. Program counters that differ across official pages are preserved separately rather than merged.
