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?

    And then you get a drought that lasts longer than your infrastructure is able to handle and you’re still fucked

      There has always been a margin for failure, but the margins need to change with climate change and that is something they’re working on all the time. At least where i live.

      True but with planning you can make it work. Instead of not watering at all you can water 2 days a week.
