I wonder if there is like some kind of natural force that would help people find the right-sized lawn to live on?
9 billion gallons per day sure sounds like a lot though!
- refurb 10y agoI hate when article do that. Let me pick a unit of measure that makes the number sound REALLY big. Did you know I weigh 75 THOUSAND grams? I'm huge!!! I'm not sure where he got the 9 billion gallons per day from, but it's suspect. Total public utility water use is 42 billion gallons per day. So lawns take up 25% of all public water use?[1] I could see that being true in some areas, but when I used to live in Michigan it rained often enough that rarely ever watered. Maybe once or twice a summer? [1]http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/wuto.html http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/wuto.html
