even in areas where there really is no water conservatory problems

Is there really an area that never faces water conservation measures?

Even normally wet Washington State is facing a drought due warm weather resulting in lower than normal snowpack, which is where much of the drinking water comes from.

Living in/near Michigan all my life and water conservation has never really been a concern, except when it comes to uproars over things like Nestle sourcing water from the Great Lakes.

Live in Michigan as well. I think we are making a huge mistake conserving water as if is scarce. We act as if water is short and about to run out. We should instead celebrate our advantage over other areas where it is in short supply.

Something to be said for not risking messing up a good thing.

Many areas that mainly use rain/snow water via ground water aquifers haven't had many if any water conservatory issues.

Usually the problem around here is sewage capacity - but perhaps it's a population density thing, and as long as you're below a certain density and it rains enough, nothing really is needed.

Canada and the Great Lakes states have a virtually unlimited supply of fresh water.
