With the heat wave thats hittibg my country I was watering my back yard today, and began wondering if there Is such a thing as wasting water when doing so… I mean, it re-enters the water cycle, doesn’t It? Besides if its absorbed by the plants AND grass … Is It really wasted?

Of course it’s wasted. Any water not used for economic productivity is a waste. Every drop you use is one less drop that can be sold by a bottling company or used by a cash crop farmer.

This is exactly the situation trickle down economics was designed for. If you just give all your water to companies it will trickle down and they’ll take care of everyone. You’ll even end up with way more water this way, trust the system.
