Pennsylvania residents are being asked to voluntarily conserve water after a statewide drought watch was declared Thursday.
Pennsylvania residents are being asked to voluntarily conserve water after a statewide drought watch was declared on Thursday.
"As a result, we're seeing lowered stream flows, dropping groundwater levels, and persistent precipitation deficits. Water conservation, always a good practice, is especially helpful now as it'll lessen potential future impacts on water supplies if rainfall continues to be scant this summer." Water your lawn only if necessary. Avoid watering on windy and hot days. Watering grass lightly and efficiently will encourage healthier, deeper grass roots. Overwatering is wasteful, encourages fungal growth and disease, and results in shallow, compacted root systems that are more susceptible to drought.
