Looks like a simple good search answers but what your your forgetting is Business and Industry. All your answer are geared to the individual or home owner. This is why I say we could save all the water and still be in a drought.
Did you know Utah is obligate to send a certain amount of water down stream ?
Other states have co-ops with Utah that they pay millions for. This in my personal opinion is a racket but Utility companies use the excuse it keeps the cost of your bill competitive.
You complain about fountains when there Water parks that use over a million gallons of water each summer they been around for quite some time and yet we gone through several years without a drought. SO explain how a fountain on your corner street is causing a drought ?
Do you know how much water is involved in mining or fracking ? As your already familiar with the Bingham copper mine do you even know how much water is used there... millions upons millions of gallons. Water is used to separate valuable minerals from dirt.
Do know how much water is used in refining oil ?
Did you know the NSA Data center in Bluffdale is estimated to use 1.7 million gallons of water per day to cool its computer systems ?
Allot your answers are flawed or just plain generalizations yes your correct that we as individuals could save more water but in reality is not the average joe who using the water its industry.
