062608 Lawn Update and how much water does it take to water a lawn in Iraq???
Well, the lawn looks great as it should and below is a pic of early
morning watering. The lawn gets watered twice a day, in the morning
and in the evening. Below also is a pic of me in front of the 10,000
liter water tank. Hmm, so I asked one day how much water is used per
watering. I was told that they water until 1/2 of the tank is gone
(ie, 5,000 liters of water). So some quick math and .....
Daily use water - 10,000 liters
Days of watering per year (conservative estimate) - 200
Total gallons per year - 2,000,000
Cost per liter in $ - $.1 (10 cents/liter)
Total cost in $ - $200,000.00
