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?

Water treatment plants that provide the potable water will output a significantly larger amount of water than any one or even hundred people can consume, even in improbably high use rates. You won’t have an effect on your local watershed really, but it’s best to listen to public water consumption advisories.
