So, in your world, poor upkeep means not wasting water and money on the most useless plant of all?
It looks like the outskirts of an African city where random new urban developments meet the savannah.
Tbh it looks relatively fine. Trees are still green (even though under stress) so the drought is not very deep. Gras dies in a rainless summer, but it will grow back.
Looking fucking fantastic.
The city is not the worst place to be in. Smaller villages are already out of water. My family lives in a rural place up north, and there are dozens of families lining up to get water from deep wells, since their wells, that supported them for generations, dried up and they have to rely on refilling once or twice a day. If that deep well water runs out, half of Serbia is out of water too. And this is just the beginning of trouble for southern Europe.
The bigger are unaffected on the surface, but in Novi Sad there was a flat worm outbreak scandal that lead to a firing of a whistleblower.
Belgrade was completely yellow, and the rain finally started after 2.5 months of drought. Some people reported having low water pressure and that is a city of 1.5mil running out of water.
Let’s see what the future brings, but given the current government, it seems that savanas are soon to become deserts.
This is a native grass species. It turns like this during a drought, but it will bounce back in autumn.
My friend, do you seriously think the authorities should waste water on huge surfaces of grass which will come alive as soon as there is rain? Why?
This particular park is Ušće, the surface area is 80 HECTARES. Mostly grass lawns. It would have been wildly irresponsible to water that area thoroughly twice a day for two months. Even if they did water it, it could have resulted in the same outcome because it wasn’t just the drought that was a problem – the heat and the sun were scorching.
London’s parks after Summer 2010 looked just like this
The only upkeep that would work is to pour it with water which is senseless in such conditions, that would lead to water shortages. Actually it is hard to believe that in such conditions irrigation of private lawns was not banned.
And after only a week of rainy days, it looks like this https://imgur.com/a/NznuSfM
I usually hate the rain, but seeing all the nature struggle so much this rain and gray skies feel so good.
People so removed from reality nowadays they don’t know that grass turns brown during a drought?
Looks like an Australian park
If there isnt any rain you should not waste drinking water to keep the grass green.
For your personal grass, try to use the trifoliums.. they have deeper roots than regular grass and stay green much longer.
In the extreme heat, water burns grass.
Welcome to Spain. You all are getting that sooner or later, it’s going to be harsh, sadly.
Honestly I don’t see any issue with the surface, especially it’s almost fall.
Grass looks like this everywhere at the end of summer. This is the end of the growing season for grasses.
No worries, water is coming.
