I sighed at this delightful lack of self-awareness on a Gardening in France forum – "Please could you offer me advice on the best plants to surround our new swimming pool. They must be drought resistant as we are in a really dry area often with restrictions on watering."

Just wow !
Love it
Nooooo ... That's bonkers
So how are they planning on limiting evaporation? I stayed at a lovely chateau in Provence that had tree cover around the pool to, got eaten alive my mosquitos though.
Who knows? But I weep at all the bright blue lifeless patches while ponds and lakes disappear and farmers slaughter their livestock as the rivers run dry.
I do dream of a natural swimming pond, full of life. But it is never going to happen on this slope!
You need to terrace it PP like the paddy rice fields in Japan and the phillipines.
