How Much Should I Water? Obviously, this depends on the season, the grass type, and the soil type. A general rule of thumb is that your lawn should receive at least 1 inch of water per week. However, how often you water also depends on how you want you lawn to look.
To measure how much water your sprinkler system puts out in a set amount of time, place tuna cans, rain gauges or straight-sided coffee cans around your lawn. Turn on your sprinkler and let it run for 15 minutes. After turning off the sprinkler, use a ruler to measure the depth of the water collected in your cans.If it's 1/4 inch, you need to run the sprinkler twice as long, or 30 minutes, to spread 1/2 inch of water on your lawn.ost lawns need at least 1 inch of water per week, so if you plan to water twice a week, you must know how long it takes to spread 1/2 inch of water over your lawn.
