My observation is plenty of solutions to water issues exist, could always use more, but, it seems that the existing solutions are not implemented in a way that works because each area of water management has a silo that they serve, or one that serves them well and they do not want to rock the boat. That is to say solutions get skewed and water gets the short end of the stick. No one really looks after water for waters sake so to speak, they do what serves the business model that they serve, or serves them... Where am I going? well, (2nd. pun intended), water controls life, so control water and power is assured. Please do not underestimate this point, the hidden control of people through water is very serious.
Now for a specific item to "save" water. Water conservation is blurred by skewed results, meaning they put in a new toilet and the water bill is hardly decreased. This is too often because you can't budget what you do not measure. Who measures the outdoor water? I ask, who has a meter on the irrigation system and or the pool filler? You laugh! As much as I hate math, I hate water being wasted on inappropriate landscape design. No, a brown lawn is not pretty, but is a lawn the correct thing in a desert? No it is not, sorry. If you like to snow ski, go to the mountains, if you like a lawn, go to Kentucky, or west Oregon. Along with a meter on the outdoor water, install a pressure regulator! Now comes the silo I mentioned, "oh I need the high pressure to force the 25 sprinklers on each valve to cover like a typhoon", (because poor design and too cheap to have more valves and stations on the controller). So, is this a water problem we have here, or a people problem? Or a "Silo".
Can you find the other pun?... hint, water is a __________? SOLUTION! not a problem.
