I'm focusing my watering efforts on my foundation and trees. Loss or damage there will effect property values. I could care less what the grass looks like. As for water itself, the population will continue to grow. People will continue to waste water. We'll eventually be so restricted on water that people will go to jail for wasting it and there will be wars fought over it. The only way to stop people from wasting is is to skyrocket the price of it. When it hurts their pocket books, they'll reconsider.
