Water is scarce because of idiots like Rand Paul that use all the water flushing their low flow toilets dozens of times out of protest.

where do you think the water goes when he flushes? Are you daft? The water goes in the sewer, is treated and comes back to the system. OR into a septic system where it filters back into the water table. YOU probably drink his recycled piss. Might be better for you than the Dem Koolaid

You cannot destroy or eliminate water, it simply exists in one form or another and is recycled constantly, the water you drink is held in your body until you piss...or die and then it goes back to the system.

The amount of water in the world is finite and constant, none is added and none is taken away. There is no such thing as "saving water". You can save MONEY by not using so much water, but you cannot "save water". If you did it, would just evaporate, turn into a cloud and fall out somewhere else. The areas with not enough water are using it faster than it is being replaced in THEIR area. Too many people in that particular area. Which people do you suggest we eliminate?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Well you can use water faster than it recycles so to speak. An aquifer recharges at a given rate, if you pull water faster than the recharge rate it will deplete.

Yes...and go somewhere else. The water does not disappear, it is relocated. One man's loss is another's gain. The water cannot be "saved".
