Well considering that I have a controller that looks at weather predictions, what has occured what the temp was, humidity was, added to the soil type, type of lawn (shrubs or grass) to determine the evaporation rate I am in pretty good shape. The controller can even water some now, some in a few hours to avoid run off. I certainly do not blindly follow some webpage from the source that profits by promoting consumption of water.

The purpose of looking at water consumption by me was not even irrigation usage, as I have said I wanted potable water data. Irrigation usage was just another column.

I can tell you this, without a doubt, everyone thinks they are an expert. It is unfortunate that when new ideas are posted here they are often ridiculed, it is sad.
