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?

Mostly depends on where you live.

My old dear lives (UK) a plot land downhill from a farm, and the farm pumps the water up from and underground spring and provides water to all the houses down the hill. They won’t be running that out any time soon,

My daughter lives in spain, and told me off for wasting water back in march (as they are suffering droughts out there) for letting the shower run before I got into it.
