How do I water my lawns?

How do I Water my Lawns? Water Scarcity has become a major issue in this City; moreover the water is available for a very limited time which is not enough for my lawns, I‘d appreciate some good tips, thank you!

1. Watering just before dawn is best. Never water at night. You don't have to soak a lawn, and don't be afraid to let an established lawn dry out a bit if water is scarce. Pray for rain.
2. Hey Nolla, 1. Water deep and infrequent - makes the lawn roots go deeper, and you use less water overall because you only water 1 time a week. Deep is equal to 2" of rain per week. Use a tuna can to measure the rain plus what you add to it. 2. Do not water when there is adequate rain. 3. Get rain barrels (there are attractive ones. These collect your water from the rain gutters, so you can use it later. 4. Water only early in the morning. During the day, water evaporates before it even hits the ground. At night, you cause fungus, disease, mold, yuck.
3. Let's keep it simple Rain Water is best cause it has more oxygen in it that's why it greens up more when it rains(a little Trivia for ya),always water early in the morning. if you water in the peak of day a lot more will evaporate, if you water at night your grass could get mold or fungus from being wet all night. good luck
