- Adjust sprinklers to water only grass areas and not impervious surfaces such as streets,
driveways and walkways.
- Mow grass to a height of 2 2 to 3 inches. Taller grass shades the roots and soil surface,
which helps reduce the amount of water that is lost to evaporation.
- Use sprinklers that spray low large drops vs. high fine ones.
- Use hand held soakers for small trees, shrubs and plants.
- Use shut off nozzles on hoses and repair leaky hoses and fittings.
