Rain Gauge

Most lawns made up of turf only need about three-quarters to an inch of water per week to keep that beautiful green carpet healthy. During drought periods or hotter days though, you will actually want to cut back on your watering, not increase it. This allows your lawn's growth to slow naturally during extreme conditions. This practice is better for the water supply and is actually much healthier for your lawn. Install a rain gauge to help you get an accurate rainfall measurement so that you know the amount of water you need to provide your lawn.
