This week’s water conservation tip involves watering your lawn. It’s eye-opening to realize how much water is used to irrigate a lawn over a year’s time.

If the average sized lawn in the United States is watered for 20 minutes every day for 7 days, it;s like running the shower constantly for 4 days or taking more than 800 showers. That's the equivalent to the amount of water needed for the average family to take 1 year's worth of showers.
