How to estimate water usage?

Drinkable water seems to be harder to come by ,,, do you think they should limit water usage all the time ?

  • In many areas the water table is dropping .... while usage is increasing. Do you think they should curtail usage of water ALL the time --- and not just when there is a temporary ...show more

  • Answer:

    Water not used just runs down to the Sea and is lost anyway, so I see no reason not to use it if it is available. It is a renewable resource. New water rains down all the time. Are you going to tell people they can't water their grass when there is a river of water flowing right through the city they live in? Are you going to tell them they just have to let all that water run down to the ocean and get salty? Also, MOST water in the world is used for irrigating farms and producing food. Limiting home use would be, pun intended, a drop in the bucket.

This would only make sense when the water is being wasted downriver to the sea due to high lake levels and the water table is low, but then you would need the infrastructure to move the water into the watertable. Until then, let people enjoy it. If the lakes are full and the water table high, you have no other way to store it.

Most of the time when they only put things to stop water usage for a while they ether had a drought and didn't get any water and low or the aquifer is running out. if its a drought then it will be 2 weeks at the most and if its a aquifer that's bad cus that's were we get out water
