I cannot see how it could be detected that an underground water
system
was being used, so a ban would be unenforceable. I also don't know
whay such systems are not more prevalent. It is cheap and easy to
bury a few perforated pipes under lawns and vegetable/flower beds.
A
few moisture detectors and electric water valves then make the

of watering your garden completely automatic.

helicopters to look for the green lawns among all the brown and yellow
ones.....
