Observation made people think the wold was flat. Look up the facts Utah's would be in drought regardless if everyone saved water. We live in a freaking desert
That's totally different. Our water levels would drop but 3 summers ago(counting this 1) we had one our historic high water years. If we didn't waste water on the aforementioned things during those years between then and now, I'd be willing to bet all the lakes would be nearly full still.
Allot of Fountains regurgitate water you fill them up, then a pump recycles it.
Evaporation process still happens and the whole point is that rather than put water in this silly fountain, we could let the water stay in the original source and not waste it for the silly excuse of a more scenic drive.!
This is true you dont need to water you lawn everyday
That's a stat I should look for...% of utahn's that water their lawn every day. I bet it's higher than you think.
Yes we as human being use allot of water but not researching and looking up the facts before you attempt to criticize doesn't hold allot of weight.[/quote]
I think everyone knows we waste a lot of water. I don't really think its worth the time to stall and have exact statistics rather than simply control what we can. Frankly, I think it's embarrassing if there are statistics made about how much we waste water and still haven't done anything about it. But here's a start..
"Based on the percentages of all types of irrigation practices (nearly two-thirds have automatic sprinkler systems), the study found that Utahns, on average, over-water their yards by nearly 20 percent (Figure 9). Even though Utah’s climate requires substantial irrigation to maintain healthy turf grass, if residents were to practice more efficient irrigation principles outdoor residential water use could be reduced by a substantial amount.
