I can't see the connection between saving water and the effects on the
environment.
I agree water is precious in that it is essential but it is not in short
supply.
The means of distribution and storage are poor and any attempt to rectify
the problem would impact on the profitability of the suppliers.


And I can't understand why few people mention the fact that aquifers
get their water from groundwater NOT sewage treatment plants! That being
the case in about 25 - 50 years (However long it takes to percolate) we
are going to have no water in the aquifers as all the gardeners will not
be able to water more than a smidgen and paved over front and back
gardens are going to mean a lot less water soaking into the soil!
