In order to reduce evaporation and conserve water, do you think it would be better to water a lawn in the early morning or early evening?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: If you water your lawn on a hot afternoon, when the relative humidity is low, much of the water will evaporate quickly from the lawn instead of soaking into the ground. Watering the same lawn in the evening or during the early morning, when the relative humidity is higher, will cut down on evaporation and increase the effectiveness of watering.
