Excuse me, but a huge portion of the US population lives in places that do not have water scarcity problems. I live in Iowa, we have more water than we know what to do with. Irrigating my lawn doesn't hurt the environment or any of my neighbors. Not everyone in the US lives in the southwest.

I bet you irrigate your lawn with potable water which takes energy to purify. So you're wasting clean water to maintain a furry green carpet (try some FieldTurf or native plants) that serves no purpose since it doesn't feed you (grow some vegetables) or act as that good of a carbon sink.
