Now that summer is here, there is plenty of lawn-watering action going on. I like well-maintained lawns, and I find landscaping interesting. However, I do not understand why some sprinklers are incredibly inefficient.
The other day, I was walking to work when a sprinkler system suddenly came on. Instead of watering the grass, it suddenly sprayed me in the face as I walked on the sidewalk. It seemed that this sprinkler was meant to go over the sidewalk and water the small patch of grass between the sidewalk and the road. I found this incredibly wasteful and inefficient since most of the water was either spraying the road, the sidewalk, or me. To add, the sidewalk had become dirty and had a red tint from all the watering (the red is iron form the soil rusting in case you wondered). In short, they should have designed a better system.
