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?

Strictly speaking, yes, it is wasteful to maintain a grass yard. You should look into replacing it with something like clover, which doesn’t require nearly as much watering. You can add edible plants, fruits and herbs to make your yard productive.
Grass itself is useless, and keeping grass yards began as “conspicuous consumption” to show how one didn’t need to cultivate the land for food.
