Maybe that explains some of the weird shower contraptions I've seen that have a bunch of heads and features all coming off a single pipe.

Some shower heads just need you to crack them open and remove a little flow restrictor. Of course that would be against code.

OMGVBFLOL posted:i know right? what's agriculture ever done for anyone There are all kinds of crops farmers could grow that don't require as ridiculous a water input as almonds do. But they're growing almonds because they can charge a lot for them and the water that they use to grow them with is free. If they had to pay for that input like they had to pay for all the other inputs to an agricultural product, they'd grow something more suited to a water-poor environment. But instead California makes absurd rules to curtail residential water use, even though agriculture uses 40% of the state's water and residences use 10%. And you're okay with that.

I dunno, I think water conservation is pretty important when most of your state is due to become a desert in the not very distant future. But corporate profits trumping environmental sustainability isn't anything new at this point, so I guess we can't exactly be surprised.

Yeah, it's pretty reasonable and not hyperbole to say the water contracts and rights in the southwest are both unfair and based on wrong math -But no one wants ro renegotiate since it would require admitting there isn't enough and kill agro business and property values at best and possibly also ruin the US and world economies.

I live about as far away from your whack-rear end state as it's possible to live and still be in the continental US. I just find it amusing that you're prepared to defend laws telling people who use a tiny bit of water what kind of shower heads they can install while ignoring people who are allowed to suck all the water out of the aquifer they want to in order to grow food for cattle that would for drat sure be grown somewhere else if those farmers had to pay anywhere near as much for that water as a homeowner does. You're squinting at dust motes and ignoring the avalanche headed towards you. But hey, you get your almond milk, so it's all cool. Phanatic fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Apr 14, 2017 |

The fun part is they make a big deal about taking shorter showers and letting your lawn die to save water and stuff like that when households use somewhere around 10-15% of the total water consumption in CA. Agriculture is like 80%

Yeah, my parents had a bonus room in their condo basement. They dug out a window well and added an egress window, and now it's a bedroom. I forget how much value that added to the condo, but it was substantial. It's got french doors, though, which I find highly annoying on a bedroom, but I don't care that much because I don't live there anymore.
