The sprinklers shoot the water into the air. Much of it evaporates in the air. The drops fall onto the grss giving a much larger surface area for evaporation. Of the water that does not evaporate, she flows back into the pond but, some of it soaks into our sandy soil and becomes part of the ground water.
