The most interesting thing I researched in TV was how many paid off the bond and what sort of home they had.

You may like statistics, but I love technology. I have a Flume water monitor on my meter. Minute by minute, I can tell you my water usage. I know that my biggest zone uses just over 11 gallons a minute, my smallest uses 6. With 5 zones, 20 minutes a zone, it comes out to right around 1583 gallons per watering cycle. I have a CYV. I only run it once a week. That's 6600/month. I installed a hunter wifi controller that won't water if it's going to rain or be cold, so it averages a less than that as usually one of the cycles will get cancelled.
I also know that when a contractor parked his truck off the street and broke a head off completely, I never knew about it and the massive water bill was a bit of a shocker. I moved that head, but the Flume would have let me know anyway.
