I have invented an irrigation device for soaking the lawn with grey water from the bathroom. It’s a 20 litre container with a small 2mm hole drilled in the lid and another above the handle for air flow. It waters the lawn at a very slow rate that avoids run-off and evaporation, so the rabbits might have grass to eat during the drought.
I call it The Pissing Piggy.
