yes lawns suck but this stat is super disingenuous.
how many acres of lawns are irrigated is the correct comparison to the farm crops. in many rainy parts of the US lawns just grow with zero watering or waste of scarce water resources.
only a moron who doesn't actually understand that different bioregions exist and that some places have PLENTY OF WATER thinks that irrigating things is always inherently bad. grow up and learn how the environment actually works before trying to be an anvironmentalist maybe???
Per the original analysis, only a third of the total lawn area would need to be irrigated to beat maize, which is the most irrigated crop by area in the US. While it is all based on satellite estimates, they did account for the fact that not all lawns are irrigated
