[quote sinergy]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 ?
I never said anything other than the weather is causing a drought. What I'm saying is that if we wasted less water then the situation wouldn't be as severe. I didn't mention water parks, swimming pools or the like because there's no way in the world they're going to cancel making/using all of these things because of business.
I'm also not referring to fountains that individuals have for themselves in their back yard or front yard. I'm talking about places such as the south jordan library, that water play area by Riverton Pond, and the ponds/fountains on the river front parkway area near midas and kidney pond. They're using water which could be saved and their functions of attraction and to cool down could be replaced with some other form of architecture/decoration and having people bring a water bottle with them lol.
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 ?
No I don't and I don't know enough about mining to know what is absolutely necessary to use water for. So I can't assume they don't need to use the water for everything they're doing.
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 ?
No I didn't but that sounds like a necessary function.
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.[/quote]
Well then help spark the ideas! It's not an easy solution but don't you think it's essential that we find an answer? What happens if its another bad winter this year or when the human population is higher and more water is needed? Geezer, dubob, and myself have proposed a few things we can do. What solutions can you come up with? Either industrial or on the individual level?
