It’s about evaporation. At these times, the water reaches the plants directly and doesn’t evaporate as much, so less is lost unused.
However, how working people are supposed to do this always remains a mystery to me.

Evaporation is always a problem. But then the mulch layer, soil compaction, and type of irrigation etc. must also be considered.
Is the sprinkler at 6 a.m. on unmulched, rock-hard soil better than the watering can/hose targeted at the plant at 8 a.m. with the soil protected by a mulch layer?

In both cases, it is better to water at 6 o’clock than at 8 o’clock as long as ceteris paribus applies. And with such prohibitions, it often also applies that watering with the watering can is allowed after all.

Here, watering of green and garden areas is generally prohibited during the forbidden times. From wells, drinking water, and rainwater. No exception for the watering can.

It would probably make sense to consider that, but how do you want to put that into a regulation?

Well, okay, with existing ground cover (mulch or wood chips) and manual irrigation using rainwater, ban times from 8 am to 6 pm apply, I could just about imagine that as an addition. The question is, who enforces it?


Hard times require hard measures? Or simply unimaginative authorities?
