@brendan moriarty The amount of water throughout the world doesn't really have any bearing on how much water is wasted in one spot, it's not very feasible to move water around. Not saying this is a waste but you can't really say it's not simply because there's water in a completely different place.

[@michaeld519]

@brendan moriarty And it's clearly not potable water so it's not like there are kids suffering from it or anything. It also really isn't that much water in the grand scheme of things. Most restaurants probably use more water than that in a day or two. Not to mention all the swimming pools and industrial cleaning services around the world. It seems like a lot to us because the vast majority of us never interact with that much water at one time, but it's minuscule. There's lots of water in the world, especially dirty water.
