eli5 How is water wasted?

1.14K 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….

It is a closed loop, some caveman had a drink of water, a couple hours later he took a piss behind the cave.. we are drinking that water.. The problem of wasting water, is the bottling of it, and keeping it cold in fridges.. We have removed so much water from the system, locked up in cold fridges, the planet has to compensate, so melts ice.. That is water waste, stop the bottling of water in fridges…
