Example of wasted water in inefficiency economics

Why do people usually assume that water run on sidewalks and within the street while they water their lawns? Is that wasted water a symbol of inefficiency?

E

Expert

Verified

The cost of water may be insignificant relative to the value of the time this takes people to shift their hoses around sufficiently which not a drop finds on the street. Therefore, this may be efficient for several people to employ "many more much" water; faithfully hand watering would be inefficient.
