About half of all water used (71 billion gallons out of 140 billion gallons per day) is used for irrigation

Correct, stop watering lawns and wetlands, problem solved.

Well, while lawns are part of the problem, the real issue is large scale commercial agricultural irrigation. That’s where the real large water uses are.

And I don’t know of too many places where wetlands are being irrigated outside of where they’re used to naturally treat wastewater discharges.
