Thanks, Sara. I agree. Its very important for us in Lincoln to take care of our water supply.
Water will be increasingly precious with climate change, and we all have a role to play in conserving water in times of draught for both people and wildlife. Grass will come back after browning off. Watering grass does not replenish the water table. Lots of studies on this.
