It’s so much easier to visualize what a total waste of water there is to maintain all that lush greenery on the multiple golf courses in this city.

Many homeowners are converting their lawns to desert landscaping to help conserve during this drought. Shouldn’t everyone be doing their part? Or is the privileged set governed by a different set of rules?

Desert Rose Golf Course was just redone as a flood control basin, and acres of grass were installed along with dozens of rain birds to maintain it. Not one sign of any desert landscaping. Please tell me that all the grass was needed for flood control. Would rocks along the sides of the wash not have worked as well?

Speaking of wasting water, Clark County seems to be the biggest offender.
