hi, i'm curious as about why water conservation is important in an area like ours. the only reason i can think of is to reduce the amount of energy and chemistry used to clean the water to return it to the lake. is there something more here? even when our water tables were high in this area people spoke about the importance of conservation, so i get the feeling it isn't about the amount of water available.
