I don’t understand how you can just leave the tap on–where does that water come from?
Is the water from your kitchen sink and your toilet the same water?
Is water really being “wasted”?
In: Engineering
There’s a few answers, but I think I can simplify it:
Your town fills up a really big bucket from a local river or lake and puts the bucket up high.
The water pours downhill from the bucket and all the way to your house.
You use the water and When it goes into your drain it falls down another hill and goes into a big water filter.
When all the water is filtered, they either pump it back into the bucket, or back into the river.
-edit –
Generally yes the kitchen water and toilet water is the same water. You’re good to drink from whichever you prefer.
And no you’re not “wasting” water. But you may be wasting the fuel and effort it took to clean and deliver it to you
