Our dams are barely 50% full, the heat has begun, how long is an acceptable shower? How often do you bathe?

    Yeah, right. Any water shortages are likely due to personal hygiene requirements of people, and nothing to do with new b.s. AI data processing centres using gigalitres to cool equipment and maintain humidity levels.

    Got it.

      Agreed they all DC’s are and will be a problem but agriculture has everything beat with water usage. Still doesn’t hurt to conserve drinking water by shorter showering. I’m not going to do it but I can’t fault people that do.

      ABS usage study from decade ago. Old but shows my point.

      yup, I’m going to care as soon as the government chases up private businesses that have leaky pipes

        The number of houses I’ve been to with taps and toilets that just leak water 24/7. I want to save water and not be part of the problem, but it’s hard when everyone else gives 0 Fs.
