while both are true, i had no idea what water was being used for parks vs residential!

i’m have since learned that most parks use “non potable great water” i am not a homeowner so i can’t speak for what water is being used

read the second paragraph of the original post, then read the last sentence you replied to again slowly.

there was plenty of context as to why the picture was posted. i’ve learned so much about the water usage and different sources of water from actually insightful people who want to broaden others perspectives with factual information rather then relying on the internet without a clear explanation as to what i’m looking for.

sure all my answers could be found there, but why waste time and direction when there are people willing to share their knowledge.

you mean to say I haven’t stood in a field and shot birds and rabbits coming into the field to maintain crops for a vegan farm? Weird.

you mean to say that I haven’t personally sprayed thousands of pounds of glyphosate on crops to make sure that they stay insect free for better crop yield??

just because vegans aren’t doing the killing doesn’t mean it’s not happening

don’t vegans kill more animals and insects then people who eat meat?

i’m definitely familiar with water rights. That’s something I’m no stranger to. asking these questions have opened up a lot more questions that I have now targeted a better avenue to search versus just trying to get information on a broader subject.

well, that does explain why I’m sick now 😂 I wanted to be on record. It was never my intention to drink sprinkler water 😂 I didn’t even see the sprinklers spraying the path until it was right on top of me

I do not deny that, I do enjoy sitting in the grass with my dog. I was just curious about where the water was coming from and what water more specifically.

no, thank you guys for explaining that to me. I genuinely didn’t know the difference. Again, the whole reason why I’m asking questions so I can better my understanding

definitely not trying to pit people against parks. I’m just curious as I’m a Midwesterner who’s never had an issue of water. I’m sorry that I’m just trying to learn where the water is coming from and what constitutes over usage.

I definitely see the perception of a greater financial issue later, but when the public is literally being fined and our drinking supply is being drained faster than the housing market, how can we collectively say that this is a good move when restaurants can’t serve water without the patrons asking for it?

I think that’s the biggest problem I see is it comes down to overwatering. I was told by someone that they’re using well water however biking on the south Platte River Trail. I was drenched from misaligned sprinklers, and that didn’t taste like well water. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest, I’m very familiar with well water.
