Yes. You are feeling evapotranspiration, water coming up from the
grass. Just as sweating cools us, evapotranspiration cools the soil.
The pertinent point here is water usage.
Full disclosure. I use so much water here in Phoenix that I have
received a letter from the water people and I have been visited by a
water employee who thought maybe I had a big leak somewhere. No leaks.
Just a homeowner who does not much like conditions here except for the
absence of bugs and the mild winters.
My position is simple. I like lots of vegetation. Vegetation likes
lots of water. I pay whatever the price.
When golf courses are shut down I will take water rationing seriously.
If I were planning to stay here I would construct a graywater system.
