It is: for farmers, who use something like 80% (I forget the exact number).
It isn't for cities, and denser cities use less water because there are no big lawns and other waste.
- Accujack 7y agoMany cities in my state (MN) still have laws on the books that will fine lawn owners for failing to maintain a green, healthy appearance. Never mind if it's in a desert or forest terrain... they only allow paved spaces, green grass and landscaping, or certified native prairie replantings, which cost a mint's worth of money to do. Because "everyone loves green grass" no matter how much water it uses or how much fertilizer runoff it allows.
