[1] does that not bother you all? Even mighty British Columbia with all the rivers, lakes, mountains and snowfall is under drought conditions, right now in winter! https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/planet-earth/state-of-the-planet/when-will-the-world-run-out-of-water https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/planet-earth/state...

What do you mean it's a finite resource, I take a shower with some water, it gets dumped, cleaned then I can use it again. Does me taking a longer shower just disintegrate the water?

I think a 30 minute shower contributes to a global water shortage in the same way that plastic straws contribute. The link you’ve provided says 90% of water usage is on the generation of electricity, food, and products. I think the GP should continue to take 30 minute showers, because even if they stop, even if every person stops, it’ll have a negligible effect on water usage. Much like plastic straws.

With unlimited energy, there's pretty much infinite water in oceans to desalinate. Energy and its clean production and storage is the only thing to worry about.
