I'm driving into work this morning and I see the sprinklers on the side of the Eastern Boulevard (highway), going absolutely nuts! How is it that in a region where we clearly have lots of vegetation that can survive without the help of irrigation, do we need to water and manicure lawn grass? Surely with our impending water shortages in summer we would decide, as a community, that it is better to save conserve water and plant indigenous flora species that handle the climate, than 'subsidise' the foreign lawn grass' water requirements... Eish!
Here's what non-irrigated vegetation looks like on the mountain
....Looks pretty healthy to me.
