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….

Here in Belgium, the northern industrious and most populated part of the country has put so much concrete everywhere that rain water doesn’t flow into the ground mostly and doesn’t reach groundwater tables.
The water goes into sewers, draining pipes and then rivers.

It’s been raining here for SEVEN CONTINUOUS MONTHS and they still fear drought in summer.

It is wasted
