Which of the following is NOT a water conservation technique?

Question

a) low-flow shower heads

b) water rationing rules by city governments

c) Climate-appropriate landscaping

d) watering lawns during the day time

Answer 1

Cambri,

 

Watering lawn during the day time is not a water conservation technique since during the  daytime sun rays are intense and rate of evaporation is higher. much water is evaporated from lawn during the day time. Ideally, lawns are watered either early in the morning or late in the evening; in that way more water is absorbed deep in the soil, it remains either moist or retains water for plant/grass  roots to get water from soil. It indeed is waste of water when lawn are watered during the day.

 

All other three approaches conserve water either through careful usage or natural resources (Climate-appropriate landscaping) of water conservation.

 

Hope this helps.
