Not just residential irrigation, either. On a business trip to Phoenix some
ten or twelve years ago, I was appalled to see from the air all the swimming

And they are required by law to use renewable water resources. Not just
dump their waste into the river and let the next city downstream take
care of it.

Didn't see anyone talking abut waste in this thread...
