It cost me $200 per month for just over 1 acre of land. My neighbors have 1 acre and they say it cost them about $150, my in-laws have just over 2 acres of land and they tell me it cost them almost $300 per month to water their lawn.
water it every day or every two days for about 30 minutes
Most lawns require a minimum of one inch of water per week. This can be accomplished by watering each section for one hour at a time. To ensure that your lawn is getting an inch per watering, place an empty tuna can in the lawn. Once the can is full you have reached one inch. It is best to water in this manner 2 -3 times a week if possible. Rain is the best supplier of water due to the natural occurrence of nitrogen, which is essential to the health of your lawn. It is hard to ensure that your lawn is getting enough water in some cases. Don't be fooled by quick downpours. It may be a lot of water, but it is coming down too fast to soak in and most of rain is washed away. A hard, short storm may still need to be supplemented later in the week with a good watering. Water is lost from your lawn through a process called evapotranspiration. Evapotranspiration--usually referred to as "ET"-- is the combined effect of water used by the plant and that which is lost to evaporation. ET is expressed in inches (or mm) of water per week. Your watering schedule should be set up to replace the water lost to ET. Check with your local university extension for ET rates in your area. Many areas publish ET rates in the daily press.

If you live in a hot, dry place, its always best to water the lawn every 2 - 3 days.
If you live in a generally cold or rainy place, there is only need to water it every few weeks.
If you have a hose, leave it on the lawn for about 30 minutes.
When the temp is high, your lawn will need more water. You need to water to get the roots wet or close to 10" deep. This will require 3/4 inches of water every few days to keep a green lawn during extreme heat.
You should never fertilize a dry lawn. Always water before you put down the fertilizer. Water for about 5 minutes so that you can activate the fertilizer. Watering too much can cause the fertilizer to wash away.
by my calculations.........................it takes....................................................A MILLION GIZZILLION POUNDS MUAHAHAHA >:D
No, there is no wheather instruments having lawn guages for how much to water
Watering your lawn when its raining can cause too much water. Grass does not have to be constantly watered. Much like you and I, too much water can be harmful to our bodies.
pour as much water as you can on it....hope that helps!
35% water is wasted on watering gardens and lawn:)
You can get gagues, and is a good idea if you're in a variable climate.
Watering once a day, even for short periods of time is not the best for your lawn. It is best to water deep and infrequently. Most lawns require 1 inch of water per week (even during the summer) so the best practice for watering the lawn would be to water twice a week, giving the lawn 1/2 an inch of water at one time.
Too much can burn your grass.
It will start to turn brown and will die off. It is recommended that you only water your lawn 1 inch per week. This can be measured by coffee cans set out to the furthest point of the spray with a mark on the inside of the can.
The first and foremost thing in keeping a lawn nice is water. If the lawn does not get enough water, it will dry out and turn brown. Keep the lawn trimmed, and make sure it gets plenty of water, especially if it is getting hit directly by the sun with no shade.
no
you can wash it on your lawn, that means your lawn will get watering
There are a couple advantages. You do not have to mow the lawn and you do not need to water it.
