eli5 How is water wasted?

1.17K viewsOtherPhysics

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….

I get what you’re saying but the one that always gets me is water shortage. Conserve we are running out of water this many days before we run out of water, etc. when all the water we use for bathing, washing, flushing, watering, drinking all of it is recycled water and has been for a very long time. Recycled with hard chemicals and “cleansing processes”

Now, knowing what sorts of chemicals are seeded into clouds for climate control and then that water goes into our earth to save us from “running out of water” but literally its poisoning our marine life and the entire ecosystem and us, now i kinda don’t want to waste the water.
