For Holmgren, the data suggests that putting restrictions on watering
suburban gardens makes little sense. He knows that water restrictions are
necessary but proposes households be given a seasonal allocation of water,
with the decision of whether to use this in the spa or on the tomatoes left
to them. Under this system the price of water would "skyrocket if you
exceed" the allocation.
