Why is he wasting all that water?

Don't ass-u-me he is.

I'm not assuming anything. If someone is watering a lawn/grass
all day water is being wasted.

My, aren't you the self-righteous know-it-all.

Except you apparently don't know that you are operating on 100% assumption.

How much water is being put down on the lawn during the watering? How
much does it require for the area covered? Subtract the second from the
first to calculate the waste. Time watering is meaningless by itself.

You don't know the size of the area nor the flow rate of the sprinkler
nor the requirements of the landscaping beyond "lawn/grass." Hence you
cannot know the amount of water being deposited relative to the needs of
the landscaping being watered.

I'd give you an example with concrete numbers, but I get the feeling
that would be a waste of time.
