No kidding... :-(
I've cut my gardening efforts quite a bit after a couple of summers of
high water bills.

It's cheaper to BUY organic veggies than the cost of the water to grow
them!

That's one of the major reasons I'm looking into hydroponics. Minimizes
water losses as it's a circulating system so water is conserved.
