How Much Water is Enough?

Most lawns in St. Louis require 1-1.5 inches of water per week. During extended periods of high heat and drought cool season grasses should receive 1.5 inches of water per week. The delivery of the water has always been debatable, but like the University of Missouri at Columbia we recommend longer watering at less frequent intervals.
