[QUOTE="NDSportsman, post: 50723, member: 444"] You obviously don't understand how or where Fargo gets it's water or what a severe drought would do to it's supply. Fargo primarily draws it's water from the Red River. The Red has indeed been dry at points in it's not so distant past, the most recent was the early 1900's. They also are able to draw water from the Sheyenne and pump it to the Red in times of low water in the Red. There's approximately a 1 year supply of water stored in Lake Ashtabula that is available to Fargo thru this process. An extreme drought in this part of the country is not unheard of and could jeopardize those water supplies fairly easily. Why do you think they even started a Missouri River diversion plan to begin with? The point is there's no damn reason to water your grass during a time of drought. Grass is meant to go dormant during these types of conditions. It's not dead and will come back when the moisture returns. I'd prefer to have water to drink then green grass to mow. Sorry for the rant but when people would rather water their fucking grass than worry about drinking water it sets me off a bit! [/QUOTE]
