Is this really where any interesting amount of water goes?
Perhaps not, but the norm forces many people to spend lots of time and money on lawn maintenance.
Looks like almost twice as much goes to lawn maintenance as to the entire industrial and commercial sectors, and by contrast, lawns have absolutely no productivity or economic benefits.
