Well, I guess I'll have to re-evaluate the situation here.
I'm thinking we all need to get into the kind of irrigation the Israelis have been using for awhile, the drip kind.
Some of my hippie pals up in the dry Okanogan county region of E. Wash. use that as they frequently have very limited supplies of water on their land.
Meanwhile, I seriously need to get off my behind and perfect the incredible new, cmac2012, pat. pending 2 gallon shower. Urban, human water use is only about 20% or so of total usage, with most going to Ag. (I think anyway), but still, water districts are always trying to encourage folks to use less at home.

Well, guess what? All us conservative libertarian Republican Redneck gun totin' hat wearin' pistol packin' cowboys are not all nuts are we? HMMM Whoda thunk a redneck has a brain and is conscious of the world around 'em!
Actually this is a common thread in conservatism, not the kind the media talks about. Conservatism means just that, TO CONSERVE! WASTE NOT WANT NOT! WOW!
Actually I like the Israel type of watering system, we have been using it in Arizona since the 1920's. Drip irrigation is the best way to make the most responsible use of water!
Gooly gee whiz, wouldja believe we have wind generators and solar panels too! Hot damn, the next thing I'll be sayin' is I run my Dodge Ram 4X4 truck as a workhorse, not a commute vehicle and fuel it with Biodiesel made from animal waste and desert Algae!
Nxt thing ya'll know I might be sayin' that we don't use cleaners like bleach or ammonia because of what they do to the ecosystem and how they poison a septic tank drain field, or that I plant native graases and wildflowers in my drain field to keep it healthy and watch it's bacterial process. Or maybe I use Envirosafe refrigerants because they are non toxic and don't contribute to blobal warming and cost 40% less in energy costs to use and have a backup battery system to go along with the solar panels and AW SHUCKS! I even ride my horse inta town to get my mail and by what I needs at the local feed store or hit my favourite waterin' hole where i let go with with a few of my ole' country favourite or somethin"! Oh that's right I do!
