From this article...
On average, [California] farms use approximately 40% of the state’s water, or 80% of all water used by homes and businesses.
I just like mentioned in this fact, when we we are discussing altering the kind of water that the urban areas drink.
Why don't we use the recycled waste water for crops and drink the naturally fresh water? Why do the plants get the good stuff and we humans have to drink the doodoo water?
