Water wars

The big battle in the future will be over water. One of the biggest users of water are sport fields. In our effort to have the greenest fields possible we sometimes- no normally- over water grass. Grass normally does not need a lot of water from the end of August until the beginning of April. However, many lawns/fields are still water extensively at times when the grass no longer needs as much water. By knowing when the grass should be watered, a facility could possibly save a lot on their water bills and save water! A recent survey showed that hospitals use 7% of their water usage for irrigation. Hotels/Motels used 16%, and schools used 28% of all their water for irrigation. The primary usage for schools are their fields.
