Rapala your right on track here
Our University (Southern Utah University) has been doing water conservation pratices for 6 years now, as a Landscape Specialist with the University I manage a central irrigation system that waters off ET. I also have the opportunity to sit in and also give lectures about water conservation all across the state. I can honestly say that the public is one of the biggiest wasters of water because of landscape practices.
I do not advocate limiting water to people but I do advocate making them pay for it if their going to use more than what they actually need. The bottom line is education, if people don't know how to water properly how can we slam them? I honestly know that I could help almost everyone in here on how to conserve water on your landscapes, heck prove me wrong and come to our water conservation workshop that myself, our local extension agent, and water conservation specialist from Utah State University will put on the first on May.[sly]
This water conservation thing is real and it's not going away and it shouldn't go away, we just need to be prudent in our use and hope for a bountiful snow pack in our mountains to help fill our under-ground aquifers.
