Garden sprinklers use water very inefficiently and so they are quite wasteful. During hot, dry weather we must conserve water to use for more important things than keeping our lawns and gardens pretty.
Watering via sprinkler on hot days sees most of the water evaporate and not actually be used by the plants in question. IN some countries where water is a premium resource watering of any plants is undertaken by "direct supply". This means water is piped to root areas of plants and therefore reduces substantially the water vaporization.

At present, drilling for oil is prohibited until 2048. See Wikipedia link. Second, there has been some drilling in the 1970's offshore in the Ross Sea, but only traces of gas were found. It will be hard to justify spending money to explore for oil, as the cost of drilling and producing is very high. So the ban on exploration may continue after 2048. See second link.
