Sprinklers!  by ingrid01

Sprinklers!

Last Wednesday I posted a picture of a man exercising in the grass under a tree at the beach. Some of you had questions about how the grass could be so green here (Oman - high temps and hardly any rain). The answer is sprinkles and this morning when Yelena went for her swim, I walked the other way and saw some sprinklers working in the distance. I walked faster because I had no idea that they would be on for at least 25 minutes (time from my first to my last picture).
I also tasted the water and I am sure it is sweet water, not brackish, which answers another question!

Ah, thank you! This is fascinating. No wonder it is so green. Great angle to get the shot. Glad you weren't banned from the beach today too!

They just be spraying very frequently. So nice they keep it up!

Thank you. You were brave tasting the water.

Thanks. The grassy areas along our waterfront properties are also quite green, but the sprinklers there are from bore water and not drinkable.

We do not have much water to spare to keep all that grass going. Most of our water is produced from salty seawater by our reverse osmosis plants.
