\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOutdoor Water Use\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\tOutdoor watering is the largest use of consumptive water by far, especially in the summertime. <\/span><\/span>
The Department of Ecology estimates that in Washington at least 80 to 90% of residential of outdoor water use is consumed<\/strong>. In other words, most of water used outside is lost from the immediate water environment due to evaporation, transpiration or human consumption, rather than being able to recharge surface or groundwaters.\u00a0
Nationwide, over 30% of the 29 billion gallons<\/strong> of water used daily in households is for outdoor use<\/strong>.
In drier climates (and during warm summer months) our outdoor use can be as high as 70% per household<\/strong>.
In the Sequim area, watering a \u00bc acre of lawn during peak summer months can use between 850 to over 1,000 gallons per day\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n\r\n \n\r\n\t\n\nWhat Can You Do to Save Water?<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n \n\r\n\t\n\nIn the Lawn:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Let your lawn go dormant this summer. When <\/span>rain returns in the fall<\/span>, your grass will turn green again, just like the trees and shrubs in springtime.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Taller turf grass promotes deeper roots. The deeper the roots, the healthier the plant. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mow less to allow deeper root development.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you have to water grass, focus on watering outdoor deeply and less frequently. Ample watering is more effective than numerous superficial waterings.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Place a shallow pan under sprinklers to help measure your depth of watering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n\t\n\n
In the Garden:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation losses. Like lawns, ample infrequent waterings is better than frequent superficial watering.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use trickle or drip irrigation systems if possible.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Collect runoff from roofs or other surfaces for garden use.<\/span><\/span> Learn more about rainwater collection here.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n

In the Drive:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Sweep it, don\u2019t spray it! Use a broom for cleaning leaves and debris off driveways and sidewalks, rather than hosing them off. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
