Hose responsibly.
- In the summer, lawn watering and other outdoor uses can explanation for up to 50 percent of home water use. Studies show that as much as half of that outdoor use is wasteful. As a general rule, 2 to 3 cmof water per week is adequate.
- Don’t overwater your landscape. It can cause yellowing leaves or poor plant health. Give plants only the amount of water that they need.
- Use low-angle or pulsating sprinklers that produce large fat dropletsof water. Sprinklers that spray the water high into the air or produce a mist or fine spray lose much of the water through evaporation.
- Set sprinklers to water the lawn, not sidewalks and driveways.
- Check your sprinkler or irrigation systems regularly for any leaks, and fix them.
- Be certain your hose has an self-moving shutoff nozzle to ensure water is not wasted when the hose is left unattended.
