waste of water - 03:31 PM
(filed under 'general')
our neighbours leave their sprinklers on for about twenty-four hours at a time. they're just watering the lawn. yes, their yard looks a hell of a lot better than our own brown front yard, but it seems such a waste of water just for a lush lawn. it is dam water from the college's own dam, but we're in a drought, so wasting water is still wasting water as far as i'm concerned, even if it is water from your own land.
i will stand corrected if someone can tell me that watering solidly for a whole night & day once a week uses water more efficiently than watering for just a couple of hours every second day. it might make sense that it would be more waterwise .. but still, i think i'd prefer just to have a brown lawn.
they could at least move the front sprinkler so that it's not watering so much of the road.
