Small towns grow desperate for water in California

[Mr.Bill]

8. Like I said, pools don't use that much water once they are filled.

They can also be a water source for emergencies such as fire. Lawns are a waste of water. Most car washes recover, filter and reuse their water, using far less than washing the car in your driveway. Leaking plumbing is certainly a big water waster. Farmers in California have made huge strides in drip irrigation and other water saving techniques. They had to.

Biggest waster of food is restaurants. Talk to anyone who has worked in one. Roughly one third of their food winds up in the dumpster. Beef is pricing itself out of the market, at least in my house. Fish and Poultry are much healthier anyway.

So yeah, it's been "started", at least in California.
