....ummmmm....no brush the teeth...? no showers....? gad;
I’ll bet she was pretty “ripe” at the end of the week....
again, her observations make no sense....my saving water
here at home has no impact whatsoever on the amount of
water used or wasted elsewhere on the globe....
No more than is usual for the French.
This is like the various states which prohibit rainwater harvesting, i.e., catching water running off your roof into barrels for domestic use.
If you do NOT ‘harvest’ your rainwater, it runs into the ground, recharging the aquifer. If you DO ‘harvest’ your rainwater, then use it for domestic purposes, it runs down your plumbing drains.
If you have a septic tank, it then runs through that, out your leach field and into the groundwater/aquifer.
If you are attached to a municipal sewer system, it runs through that to the wastewater treatment plant and into the nearest river, lake or ocean, eventually rejoining all the raindrops which were NOT ‘harvested’.
The only way ‘rainwater harvesting’ affects the local water balance is if you catch the rain running off your roof in barrels and then send those barrels to the Gobi Desert or some other needy region far away from your home watershed.
