Most of the water is used by industry, I always find it amusing when we pretend 5 minute showers will have an impact.
And building all those chip foundries in Texas isn't going to help.
- atoav 4y agoThis is somewhat my point. It should not be that hard to have some checks on the water use of the industry. E.g. you could create laws for certain especially water-hungry industries, you could ban certain water intensive agriculture alltogether (e.g. avocados) etc. Some of those measures could be permanent (given the fact that it is going to get worse) others could be limited to especially dry years/seasons. Regulating water use in a friggin' desert is common sense. How much worth is a culture when it cannot even reach that low bar of rationality?
- rightbyte 4y agoWont foundries circulate the water anyways?
- tenpies 4y agoIt's the "EV" approach to water. It's truly comical that consumers are expected to make all these huge sacrifices, when the only sacrifice necessary is the ink and paper necessary for reform. All it takes it a desire to return to reality. Irrigating deserts is generally a bad idea.
