Also, not mentioned is the fact that celebrities in Los Angeles were using thousands of cubic metres of water to keep their massive gardens green, decorative fountains flowing, and their swimming pools full during a drought, while ordinary people were only allowed to water their lawns three times a week.

Water usage should be price exponentially so that each cubic metre costs double what the previous one did.

while ordinary people were only allowed to water their lawns three times a week.

that’s already too much imo. watering a lawn is a total waste of water, wether it’s being done by millionaires or not.

Ordering all people to kill their grass is a great way to cause immense public opposition to any sort of water restriction whatsoever, so it's not helpful if the goal is to conserve water.

Besides, the amount of water used by this activity is comparatively minimal, probably no more than a tenth of a cubic metre each time, especially since you are only allowed to water for 8 minutes three times a week.
