If also you are one of those people who is always tired of maintaining the lawn time and again, consider switching to artificial grass.
Living in a modern society doesn't mean endless resources. As modern citizens, we should develop a way of thinking and act for a sustainable future. The use of water should be included in these plans as well. As you already know, the Planet is suffering because of gas emissions, and as temperatures are rising, above average values, the levels of water are diminishing. It is why some areas, which never had water supply issues in the past, now face periods of drought.

Why is fake grass still illegal in certain California cities? In Sacramento for instance fake grass is prohibited in front lawns and has been so since 1984 when fake grass hadn't progressed to the point it has now. Back then, it looked tacky, but now it's virtually indistinguishable from real grass. It even has the brown thatching underneath the fibers. But now Sacramento's ban is no longer enforced.
A preliminary recommendation of water reduction targets has been released by the State Water Resources Control Board. Their recommendations assign water use reduction targets for cities in proportion to how much water their respective residents use. The recommendations will be voted on next month.
