Arecent issue of The Tampa Bay Times reported that the Southwest Florida Water Management District is asking residents who water their lawnsto“skipaweek”ormoreifpossible,duringthemonthsofJanuary and February. As I have often written, water in Florida is a precious commodity that we cannot afford to waste. Although we have a large aquifer in the limestone beneath the state, if we overdraw water from this source, water will begin to seep in from the ocean and gulf. Once this aquifer becomescontaminatedwithsaltwater,itwillnolongerbeusablewithout expensive processing. Watering lawns is a big draw on the aquifer. Citing the University of Florida, the paper says that grass does not need to be watered as often during cooler months. One half to three-quarters of an inch of water every 10 to 14 days is all that is needed. You can determine if your grass needs water by checking the following. Are the grass blades folded over at least one-third of the yard? Does the grass appear blue-gray, or does it not spring back leaving footprints for several minutes after walking on it? Unless these conditions are present, the lawn does not need water. For information on water conservation you may visit: watermatters.org/skipaweek. mre
