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
Water will eventually be cycled back into rain water at a certain point but during the inbetween of those stages the total usable water goes down as it will need to be obtained again through rivers or ground water which will take a while before it goes back to 100% what it was before. And certain stuff like watering your lawn and cleaning your car with a hose uses up way more water than it needs to so you are using up the available pool of water which will take a while before it becomes usable again. So if we have a bunch of people using water inefficiently then it could result in drought like conditions for a while you wait for the cycle to refill the available water.
So wasting water is more so not using the amount of water we have access to efficiently which can reduce the available access to that water which the natural cycles can’t quite keep up with.
