> stop wasting the water You need to define that carefully. If I use water in a city, and dump it down the drain, that water is not wasted - it's cleaned, and then returned to the watershed for the next city downstream. On the other hand, water used in an arid area to irrigate (especially flood irrigation) could be wasted - but it depends on where it ultimately rains. some places that extra water causes rain in places that need it, other places it rains in places that have plenty of rain. Are you on septic? That seems like the water is wasted - it goes underground. But if it refills underground storage reservoirs, it's not actually wasted. So defining "water waste" is much more complicated than it may appear.
