Not only in Florida, but many states in the United States are facing water crisis, and the over usage of water is the only reason. Floridians use about 136 gallons of water a person per day, and more than half is poured on lawns. Due to this overuse of water, Florida is running out of drinking water from the Floridian aquifer. But in past few years, water conservation measures, adoption of year round landscape irrigation restrictions and the use of artificial grass landscaping techniques in Florida together have resulted in significant lowering of the per capita water use rates.
With water conservation restrictions in Florida, many Floridians are increasingly removing natural grass from residential or commercial lawns, and opting to install artificial grass in lawns. Because synthetic turf in Florida also has become the preferred choice for those common areas where people gather and socialize with family and friends. By installing synthetic turf about 65 gallons of water per square foot can be saved.
