Is there really any such thing as grandfather clauses??? Re: Looking for research on watering restrictions

How about the logic of "what is over watering and causes leaching of the soil in your area?" Is it 4 hours per day? And if so.. why would anyone water over 4 hours per day? And to water during the "sun" hours is absolutely assinine? Does your area water at night? or "early" in the morning rather than during the day? What about "phoney grass" on the golf courses.. the National Football teams use artificial grass.. why not golf courses? Sure would be a whole lot less maintenance and gross waste of the water resources. Is there really any such thing as grandfather clauses??? I am part of the team trying to save the Shuswap Lake water system.. people keep spouting off "grandfather clauses" .. when in fact "no such thing exists". Make sure you are not getting a crock of "you know what"!!?? Reality is.. find out how much water per day the area actually needs.. what I have discovered over the years in the Kamloops region (semi arid) is that most people.. including idiotic golf courses... tend to over water ... at the wrong times. WE only need a max of several hours water per day.. anything more is a gross misuse and waste of water resources...and causes major leachate of the valuable soil components and leads to over fertilizing... Is that what is going on in your region too?? People just being stupid about a very precious resource? We had one idiot that would leave her irrigation sprinklers running for 12-18 hours at a time.. during the hot summer days.. Meanwhile the people on the upper bench didn't have enough water to even shower or do a wash load of clothes. Her logic... "nobody tells me what to do" .. meanwhile we all knew that anything over 4 hours was leaching the soil.. do you think we could get it throughn that morons thick skull?? Not a chance.. go figure... I sure hope you can come up with a way to "educate" people.. so they become part of the solution.. not part of the problem.
Best thoughts in your endeavour...
