In Australia I was picked up for going around four times. They were watching from the start and threatened me with a reckless driving charge.

I didn't know it was that bad! I never really played it but that sounds rough. People suck.

My toilet is in my shower room so I suppose that would only be two meters from the truth. Close enough.

They typically over extract and under report too I heard.

I just had a shower and while I was in there I was thinking about how I could become more like you. Could you give me some advice please?

In my city the water comes from underground too. The problem arises when there is no rain and cleared land produces more runoff than absorbtion.

Coupled with heavy use by people ground water levels are reduced. This not only affects us but trees and plants that rely on these water levels will die off.

However, as the other commenter mentioned, normal citizen use and its affect on this is negligible. It's when you have industrial water extraction that is the real problem.

But.. Thoughts about showers aren't also shower thoughts?

I live in the wettest region of south west australia nearby the historically coldest, wettest town in the state. We normally get 9 wet months a year but we're are half way through the season and so far only had 1.5 wet months.

The Reassurance Bucket thoughts.

288

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back up to rinse.

Plus, water is damn expensive!

Who here really has the time to stand, think and waste in the shower?
