Eduardo Porter: Water is far too cheap across most American cities and towns. But what’s worse is the way the United States quenches the thirst of farmers, who account for 80 percent of the nation’s water consumption and for whom water costs virtually nothing. Adding to the challenges are the obstacles placed in the way of water trading. Markets are essential to ensuring that water, when it’s scarce, can go to the most valuable uses,” said Barton H.

Unlike carbon emissions, however, fresh water – once considered a bottomless resource – has recently been shown to be a very fragile element in the overall scope of elements needed for survival.

Lawns need a lot of care such as mowing, seeding and regular watering to maintain their natural beauty. Watering lawns is a very tricky process because they require a lot of water, especially if they are located in dry areas. It is therefore highly recommended to explore watering strategies that use less water but still keep the grass healthy. Watering lawns should not necessarily be done on a daily basis; lawns should be watered only when they need water.
