How is water “wasted”?

1.12K views

I always hear that we have a limited amount of fresh water. If I take a shower that is too long, and that water is going into my septic tank and back into the ground, is there any harm besides the energy used in pumping and warming it?

In my instance my house is 100% solar powered and we are on a well and septic- am I “wasting” water by brushing my teeth in the shower?

The Water that you use goes into the septic tank and then you need to have it cleaned out, the tanker then disposes the sewage into the sewers which open in rivers which flow into the sea. So yeah if you were to use water at an accelerated rate the ground water level will and you will have to dig deeper to get water access. Eventually running out of ground water you will have to depend on water from treatment plants or rain harvesting
