Water agencies are helping Californians create water efficient gardens with demonstration gardens. Traditional lawns and gardens can require lots of water to maintain. For example, the typical lawn requires about 57 inches of water a year. While some of that comes from rain, the rest has to be provided by irrigation. A small lawn of 1,000 square-feet uses about 35,000 gallons of water per year. If the lawn is over-irrigated, as is common in many areas, it can use up to 75,000 gallons a year. It is estimated that residents over-irrigate outdoor plants and lawn by as much as 60 percent.
