In the UK, generally regarded as one of the wettest countries in the EU, there are seven water companies in the South of England which continue to restrict the use of hosepipes and sprinklers even in the middle of winter. A reflection of the serious impact that global warming and water shortages are having upon many people's daily lives.

If you are worried about how you can water your lawn when the next long period of dry, summer weather arrives, then an artificial grass lawn is perhaps the solution.
