Like when ppl say don’t wash your yard or car with a hose. Isn’t the extra water or for that matter all water either seeping underground and adding to groundwater table or being evaporated into nature to be recycled? In both cases the water will be filtered enough to be potable….
In: Physics
You’re right, it doesn’t necessarily waste the water itself. Water cycle and all that. It’s a waste of energy that was used to treat the water to make it potable, and will be a waste of energy to treat the water again downstream to make it safe to discharge back into the lake.
It could also be a waste of water itself in the sense that the availability of potable water is being poorly resourced by excess/needless use but you would only feel that in times of scarcity, but it’s technically existent as a concept in times of abundance too.
