How does wasting water harm the environment?

Answer 1

Wasting water means wasting energy. When the water you waste goes down the drain, that means the energy that was used to clean and filter that water went all to waste. The water goes back into the ground, and it takes even more energy to filter and clean it again. Some water also ends into the ocean and since it takes time for the flow of salt water to become clean water, our amount of clean water will decrease. So basically every pint of water that you waste ends up into the ground, sea, river never becomes automatically clean again.

Answer 2

Depends on where you live. If you live in a dry are such as America's Southwest then the disadvantages are that you are depleting the water supply, whether it be from underground aquifers or river or stream water, at a unsustainable rate and the water will run out and you will be forced to pay more for water that is farther away. A second reason would be that if you have to pay for water then you are literally throwing money down the drain.

Answer 3

my opinion why we should stop wasting water is because we need it to survive. we can die without it. we also need water to take a shower which is important and if we don't have water to bathe, we will smell really, really dirty. we would look untidy and won't have fresh and healthy bodies at all. this is my opinion on why we should save water and not waste it.
