Why when the drought is so bad, can people in the Berrigan Shire can still water their lawns ? There are areas close by that are on high water restrictions, where they are NOT permitted to water their lawns at all ( and rightly so) .. there is also the possibility that the farmers, in the area, will have their water supplies cut to their crops . Yet green lawns are abundant in the Shire. Surely common sense should limit water usage until the drought breaks. Why is the Berrigan Shire in the Riverina in Southern New South Wales in Australia being so irresponsible by not bringing in more servere water restrictions? it is selfish, ignorant and arrogant to allow such water wastage to occur. The People in the shire can water seven days a week between the hours of 6pm and 8 am what is your opinion .. In such a dire water crisis .. should people be allowed to waste water on lawns ? Helen, I no longer live in the Berrigan Shire. I have family there and visit often and I am appalled at the way water is wasted. Some of my family have given into my whining and no longer water, where as others have said that they will continue to do so as long as the shire permits. I feel so sorry for the farmers .. who's livelihood depends on water. Kevin, water restrictions work everywhere else and they are actually quite easy to inforce... It doesn't take much patrolling around small country towns to see who waters and who doesn't. Fines are imposed on those who break the restrictions and where i live , some people have already had their water supplied reduced to a trickle ( as in restricting their supplies) as punishment for breaking the restrictions. things are getting extremely dire in Australia.. Green lawns are an extravagance that we can not afford at this time..... and people should realise that... and when they don't a governing body should step up and bring in restrictions. lpaganus-- Personally I believe that green lawns SHOULD be a thing of the past .. UNTIL we are living in times where water is abundant .. BUT how do we convince flatearth local government officials .. who are probably worried about being voted out of office ..:( SAND D... and when there is no water for watering livestock ? and when there is no water for washing and bathing ? and eventually for human consumption .. what then ? The watering of lawns is NOT an issue when there's water plentiful ... I am sorry but you will not be selected as best answer on the basis that you have no understanding of the serverity of the issue. David W,... Sorry to have to tell you but Wikipedia isn't really the place to check this out ..What I would really like is for people to email the shire and ask them why they are so irresponsible. tuxie, there are a few in the towns that have access to bore water ... not many .. and the towns in that region not have recycling facilities ... the water for the vast majority of townsfolk comes directly out of the water mains ... so there's definitely a reason for me to get cross at the waste redreamer-- i agree with you entirely re common sense and personal responsibility. i have *shamed* a couple of family members into not watering .. others say they will wait for the shire to tell them not to water. it's just such a shame people aren't taking this seriously

Watering Lawn costs too much for my 10,000 sqFt -- How do i keep it green? My lawn is huge for my suburbia house...its the biggest in the neighborhood at 10,000-12,000 sq feet...To keep this lawn green i fertilize, aerrate, mow, and water it. The problem i am having is that the watering which is handled by a lot of underground sprinklers is costing me an arm and a leg...Just to water the lawn in total to give each zone 1 hour worth of water which equates to about 0.25 inch of water based on my sprinkler type it would total 4 hours and 35 mins...This amount of time amounts to $20 extra on the water bill...but remember this is just to give my lawn 0.25 inch of water in ever spot...I read that the lawn needs 1 inch of water per week. So to do that it would cost me $20*4 = $80/week = $320/month just to give my lawn enough water to stay green....OUCH!
