Don't utilities go back to household (Chart 2)?
Either way, we should probably reduce the prevalence of water-intensive lawns in suburban developments and switch to more water-friendly ground cover (or at least more water-useful ground cover like vegetables).
I've been getting rid of the lawn. Gravel and a few beds of draught-resistant plants in the front. Small garden in the back and the grass is being replaced with clovers etc which require less water or mowing and are more bee-friendly
Why not just use clovers all around? They're so pretty.
I've started throwing down clover for the bees wherever my lawn gets bare, it makes way more sense. Keeping grass alive throughout the summer is a waste of time and water now.
