The people who should be on water meters are the water companies

I wonder how that is estimated.... it's very nearly 1 cubic
kilometre a day, to use units that are easy to visualise.


... but evidently not easy to calculate. It's actually nearly
0.001 cubic kilometres, or 1 million cubic metres.


Oh ipddel. "I must make sure I read psotings properly". "I must
lay off the cider". Still, a lot of water.
