It is important to know where the water comes from, and that there is a finite amount to go around. We all could stand to be more respectful of water's life giving (and taking) power. Perhaps every homeowner could be required to take a similar tour when they are arranging to have a lawn installed? That along with a display of how much water their lawns will be "drinking" might go a long way to turning the tide!TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-40071188531260479012015-02-24T18:53:12.521-06:002015-02-24T18:53:12.521-06:00What an interesting system!
