717 views

With the heat wave thats hittibg my country I was watering my back yard today, and began wondering if there Is such a thing as wasting water when doing so… I mean, it re-enters the water cycle, doesn’t It? Besides if its absorbed by the plants AND grass … Is It really wasted?

Where I live, during especially hot days or when the water reservoir is low, they will send out notice to avoid “free watering” and even limit long showers.

Doesn’t happen very often, mind you. This summer we had a week of “if you’re going to water your plants, please use a can and not a direct water hose”

So I tend to rely on that on when/if water is wasteful.
