I've read that people in dry, hot climates have a lot of shady areas for their geese, not so much as trees, but man-made things (if you have trees then that's a plus!), something like this, http://d1raws287cqq80.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_full/images/products/SM6047.jpg

And have a lot of water sources around, maybe including a kiddie pool.

 

If I remember correctly, there is someone from AZ that posted in this thread... http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/690124/drought-has-dried-up-all-my-grass-what-are-you-feeding   - yes I know its a lot of pages to go through, and if I had the moment available, I'd track 'em down, but it might also offer you some good tips smile.png

 

Geese are adaptable to any climate, provided that you give the appropriate shelter & nutritional needs. Good luck on your goose quest!
