In 2021, California is experiencing one of the worst droughts in the past hundred years. So much so that it has become an emergency. If you are a Californian resident, you would know how the state has been struggling through a 3-year drought. The state has been cracking down on water usage and has even implemented fines for those who are caught wasting water. But what about the people in California who are facing the drought and can’t afford a new lawn or to pay for the water to keep their lawn alive?
The water shortage has put businesses a step away from disaster because they didn’t prepare for it early enough. If your business is in California, especially in the southern end of the state, you need to do your part to conserve water. So what can you do to help? One of the easiest ways to help is by using artificial grass for your yard.
Artificial turf can be an excellent alternative to a dying lawn. Synthetic turf is water efficient and can help save on water usage in drought conditions.
Artificial turf uses less water than natural grass. Consider that it takes about 14,000 gallons of water to produce a 1,000 square foot natural grass lawn. In contrast, it only takes about 3,000 gallons of water to make the same sized synthetic grass lawn. According to the Consumer Awareness Institute, artificial turf uses 75{3613ff1d1a73a2de67333a04de1c96dfd27b0d70940be5a41b36d16fd66cd606} less water when compared to a natural lawn. As the drought continues, it is essential to remember that switching to an artificial turf lawn will help conserve water and make a difference.
Conclusion: Drought is inevitable, and it’s not just California that is experiencing one; many parts of the world are too. In order to combat this issue at its core, everyone has to play their part.
