Hoses to save water:


About garden hose:

A garden hose also known as a hosepipe is a kind of hose that is used for watering plants in a garden or a lawn. There are a number of common attachments available for the end of the hose, such as sprayers and sprinklers, which are being used to concentrate water at one point or over a large area. Usually, hoses are attached to a hose spigot or tap.
Generally most of the garden hoses are green but they are also available in a variety of colors. Garden hoses are typically made out of synthetic rubber or soft plastic, reinforced with an internal web of fibers that makes them flexible and their smooth exterior facilitates pulling them past trees, posts and other obstacles. They are also tough enough to survive scraping on rocks and being stepped on without damage or leaking.
