Astroturf and that recycled rubber stuff in childrens play areas in parks are alternatives to lawn.
Having said that I prefer lawn. Kids need somewhere to play and there is no real substitute for lawns/grass. Imagine playing britsh bulldog on bitumen - ouch!
A lot of people no longer water their lawns in Sydney due to restrictions and most seem to stay green. Occassionally you may get the old dry patch but grass is fairly tough and seems to re-juvenate itself over time, albeit with the damn weeds!
I think the majority of people of Australia wide are responsible for water management and conservation. Its just seems to be the governments dilly dally, wishy washy approach to making decisions that hold back many proactive, pragmatic water reform ideas.
