Summer fun doesn’t have to mean wasted water! Sprinkler toys and kiddie pools are great ways to keep cool, but how you use them makes a big difference. Set up sprinkler toys on your grass so the water does double duty, but remember to limit use to avoid excess. With a kiddie pool, fill it once and enjoy all day, then pour the leftover water onto your lawn! Let’s make every drop count and protect our groundwater for future generations.
